Hello,
I have been using Ubuntu for a while and wanted to move to Arch Linux. I did. Got everything set up but have one major problem.
Wireless.
I have my wireless driver installed through Ndiswrapper and works. Connecting to the router is fine. No problems there. Can go on the internet. But after 15 mins or so (varies) it gets broken and locks programs out.
The programs I've noticed which get locked out are:
sudo
gksu
conky
rebooting/shutdown (have to do a hard shutdown)
When I mean lock. Conky's display just stops. sudo does not do anything. reboot/shutdown just hangs.
I use iwconfig + dhcpcd to connect to my wireless.
I don't know If its my wireless as Its never done this in Ubuntu. It kept the connection and sudo, etc, was fine.
Am I missing a file/package? whats causing this!!
I have my host name correctly set up. (If that might effect anything.) Locales are fine. keyboard are fine..
Please. I would love to carry on using Arch! but this.. problem is kinda, well very annoying.
Thanks,
Tom
EDIT!!!
I have solved it!
It was due to Ndiswrapper 1.53 messing up and downgrading to Ndiswrapper 1.52 solved this. Now I have a very stable connection.
Look here to how to downgrade http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=54224
