After losing the wireless connection for whatever reason, i'm unable to
reconnect to it and actually acess the internet. It reconnects to the router by
all traffict just dies and it's unable to do anything. trying a ping google.com
-c 4 reports that the host is unknown even though i'm supposedly connected to
the network.
How do you determine that there is a connection to the wireless network?
I'm unable to ping, or otherwise connect to anything. This happens when i
accidently bump the little switch on teh front of my laptop. Or, if i have to
go reset my router and the connection resets. It's back up again but it's not
loading it properly. I can connect via ethernet but on my laptop the network
doesn't show up. Since i'm in the country i'm the only person with a visible
wireless network around me.
This issue has been in it since a couple months back but it's just now that i'm
able to say with certainty that it's the package that is the problem. It's
either that or whatever package tells the OS to start routing through my
wireless adapter isn't doing its job. Since ethernet connections still work
just fine.
What are you using to configure the wireless network connection?
ifupdown, wicd, Network Manager?
Ben.
I'm also using Gnome Network Manager, it comes back, if i press fn+f2
which is the wireless button, or if i continually flip the switch ~8
times. it then shows itself once more and lets me connect. And this even
if the thing says that it's enable network+wireless. It doesn't show
itself at all.
If there's any sort of information that'd help like a log of some kind
i'd be glad to provide it.
