Public bug reported: I updated to Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex a few days after it was released, and am loving the experience so far - except for the wireless.
Way back in Fiesty, I had this weird issue where my wireless card would simply die after a random amount of time. Using the internet heavily seemed to hasten the effect, although I could never discern exactly what the issue was. Shortly thereafter, Gutsy was released and it fixed everything. Hardy also worked extremely well. Intrepid, on the other hand, seems to have regressed back to this behavior. I turn on my laptop, connect to the campus wireless, and a random amount of time later it will disconnect and my CPU usage will spike to 100% until I restart the computer entirely. The only current workaround is to disable the wireless by right-clicking network-manager and unchecking "Enable Wireless", but this kills my only access to the internet if I'm not sitting in my Residence Hall. I originally posted in this bug 229611 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/229611) about it, however that bug is about a 3945BG card, and I have an Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG card. In addition, my computer behaves differently than the other users in that bug, I think. So far, I have tried the following: 1. I have installed all available kernel updates to date. I am now running Ubuntu 2.6.27-7.16-generic according to cat /proc/version_signature 2. I have attempted booting my computer with the irqpoll option enabled. I did this because I was getting a message in dmesg that said I should try booting with it. This option, however, makes my mouse virtually unusable and also does not solve the problem (in fact, I still get the same message even with irqpoll booted). 3. I have installed linux-backports-modules-intrepid at the advice of Leann Ogasawara in bug 229611. This did not solve the problem. It is still also not solved with the backports modules installed and irqpoll booted. I will attach my lspci -vvnn log, and a few dmesg logs from various times this bug has been triggered. It is important that this bug, on my system, is reproduceable without fail, although it takes different amounts of time to trigger it in each instance. The number and type of programs/processes running to not appear to make a difference at all. Another interesting note is that my lspci -vvnn output has changed since installing linux-backports-modules-intrepid. It no longer tells me what capabilities each entry have, and instead says "access denied". The one posted here lists all capabilities and was taken before installing linux-backports-modules-intrepid on my system. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Wireless Card Fails After X Amount of Time or Y Amount of Data Transfered https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303802 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
