Morning,
Not sure where to look or what to check to fix this one
I never ever had problem with my wifi connexion until "pacman -Syu" yesterday, which was btw a major one as I haven't done it regularly...
From time to time, my wifi connexion just hangs up/dies and I either needs to restart or to switch to a wired one.
Here is my dmesg output but I am not sure if it can help much

Any idea on what to check? If you require more information, just let me know what.

Try disabling ipv6. In your /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf put
alias net-pf off
Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot
I will try it for few days and see if it improves the situation

erm, it does not help
Still the weird behavior and I noticed that my connexion speed is switching from 1Mb/s to 60Mb/s very often and randomly... Is there a way to fix it at 54Mb/s?
I wonder if it is my Wifi N laptop and router that my be causing the problem
Thanks

According to the wiki it should say:
alias net-pf-10 off

ok, so after a week with ipv6 blacklisted and not loading thanks to the above line, I can still say that my wifi connexion is poor since moving to 2.6.30
My connexion is @ 60Mbps and then it drops to 1Mbps for a while and then back up... I basically need to use the eth connexion as I can't work reliably with the wifi anymore
Any idea on what cause this choppy connexion?
Thanks

what is your wireless card/driver? i have a iwl4965 driver and am having issues with it. it worked perfectly on the live cd, and now i can see other networks but the ip times out with both dhclient and dhcpcd.

Does it drop to 1Mbps when you are doing downloads or when it is idling?

It happens randomly. I can be downloading (i.e. pacman -Syu) when it freezes for a while (download stops for few minutes and sometimes restart) or I can be on msn chatting with little traffic.
btw, when it drops to 1Mbps, it is like having no connexion at all. Because no Internet traffic is possible, not even very slowly

Ok, then it is not a question of connection speed dropping when the connection is idle.
Some drivers used to do that but it wouldn't affect normal network usage (connection speed would go up as soon as there was enough network activity), ath5k used to do this and it was not a bug but in your case it seems to be.
Have you checked to see if anyone is using the same wireless channel (even if they are using an hidden essid) or change the wireless channel you are using, if you can that is.
Also is anyone using bluetooth devices nearby? It shouldn't conflict because bluetooth should avoid the used wireless channels but who knows.
If you have the chance, try with another wireless n router and wireless g routers to try to determine if it is a problem with the drivers or hardware compatibility.

I have got the same problem since moving to 2.6.30

I have the exact problem, but will try this after work.

It is some bug here. Under windows I do not have any problems.

Any progress with that?

still the same problem for me. No one on the same wifi channel, and several kernel upgrades later my wifi is still choppy so I am stuck on ETH for the time being
Did anyone find a solution?
Offline
I still got this irritating problem. I can sit a meter away from self-wireless router and network on my netbook jumps up and down all the time.

Same here with ipw2200. *sigh*
