Intermittent loss of connectivity with wireless network

rangalo · 2009-12-15 22:22:27

I have just installed arch on my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop.

I have configured wireless netwrok to connect automatically using net-cfg and net-profiles daemon as described in the wiki.

Most of the time, it works but often It looses connection on reboots. With error like authentication/association failed, No connection etc. It sounds rediculous but to fix the problem I have to reboot.

Moreover, even if I change the WM (e.g. logout from Kde and login to openbox) I also lose the wireless internet connection.

Here some data:

Wreless Network controller:

Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)

Modules are loaded

[root@moonlight: ~ ]# lsmod | grep 2200
ipw2200               145224  0
libipw                 27680  1 ipw2200
lib80211                5856  3 lib80211_crypt_tkip,ipw2200,libipw

Firmware is installed

[root@moonlight: ~ ]# pacman -Q ipw2200-fw
ipw2200-fw 3.1-2

Any ideas ?

At the time of loss of connectivity I saw some message regarding IPV6 in dmesg. I am currently not on the machine so cannot provide the exact error message. But it was some thing like

no ipv6 router found

Should I disable ipv6 ? How can I do this ?

thanks & regards,
Hardik

Thanks,

It seems to be fixed now. I don't have sudden loss of connectivity.
