I have always blamed the driver for this (and nothing happend from that side), but seeing this might change my mind. It is very frustrating to use ath9k (even the latest version, manually installed) and not to have a reliable internet connection.
It is not every 2 minutes, it is once a day or maybe every minute, depending on the activity. For me the only partial solution seems to be resetting the router, as otherwise I cannot log to the wifi connection (with WPA2 security). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495981 Title: NM disconnects Wi-Fi every 2 minutes but iwconfig+dhclient and wicd don't -- ath9k Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager I have Dell studio XPS 13 running: Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 with wifi card (lspci): 06:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) that works (tries to) with ath9k module. It connects to my access point and works ok however, It disconnects every 2-3 min saying (in dmesg): [ 311.600306] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:1d:68:0c:97:63 (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=2) and then automatically reconnects... I have tried different drivers and other things.... Interestingly when I right-clicked on network manger applet, select ¨disable networking¨ and then set up everything myself on console using iwconfig and dhclient..... IT WORKS!!! no disconnections.... wpa_supplicant is still running in a background but not doing anything (my wifi has WEP encryption). I´ve seen some similar reports in Internet but they seem to think that it is a driver problem when to me it looks like a NetworkManager issue...
