[Solved]Pacman (or wget) & Firefox @ the same time kill the connection
Hi. Not sure what the root of this problem is. If I'm running pacman (using the default or wget) or using wget by itself to download a file, and am using firefox at the same time, it will invariably kill the network connection after some random amount of time. It kills the connection so bad that I have to unload the ndiswrapper module and reload it before the wireless will reconnect.
Never seemed to have this issue before w/ other distros.
Using hp dv6000 w/ broadcom 4311 wireless. Fully updated (as of today) arch64 system (ndiswrapper 1.49).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott
Edit: Of course 2 min after I posted this (after searching for an hour) I fixed it by ndiswrapper -r bcmwl5 and then reinstalled the bcmwl5.inf. Now it (so far) seems to be back to normal.
