Running multimedia ubuntu 12.10 with all "automatic" fixes applied on a newer toshia laptop. The symptoms I see are as follows:
- I can access network from home network and maintain connection using my cisco based wireless router. - When accessing network from other wireless network routers, it connects to the network and will work for a few seconds (or minutes) and then the browser begin to show "waiting for", "looking up...", etc. and eventually gives up with such messages as "cannot find" or "cannot access...". The wireless network icon still shows connection - showing 3 bar signal. - When Ithis happens, I can usually click on the wireless network icon, disconnect, then connect to the same network and press "try again" on the browser. Connection again stays up for seconds to minutes. - After a few disconnect/reconnect iterations, it seems that reconnection does not work. After rebooting, I can reconnect - but again, the same symptoms. - One of these other wireless connection uses a DLINK router - probably older version. - I have not experenced this problem when I boot up with Windows 7. - I can provide other information if requested. -- 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/1066404 Title: wireless connection drops Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 (fully updated) and the wireless connection keeps dropping. It appears to be connected in Network Manager but I'm unable to reach any web pages or the admin page of my router. Clicking on the network manager icon and selecting my network re- establishes the connection which is fine for about half an hour then it drops again.
