------ Original Bug Text: ------
The wireless connection will drop out and then return in 10sec to 3min.
This is with Atheros chipset powered by madwifi drivers.
The exact same connections (cards, aps, computers etc) under 2008.0 were rock solid.
I have found this to occur with my:
D-Link DWL-G520 PCI Card (reports as AR5212/AR5213)
D-Link DWl-G680 PCMCIA Card (reports as AR5212/AR5213)
I also have a Netgear PCI Card to test if necessary - however it is also a AR5212/AR5213 card.
I have been tested with different connections:
Unsecured - not tested
WEP - occurs
WPA/WPA2 - occurs
WPA-EAP - occurs
Solid: 2008.0 with madwifi-0.9.3.2-3mdv2008.0
Unstable: 2008.1 with madwifi-0.9.3.3-5.r3114mdv2008.1
I have only found this under 32bit, I have not tested 64bit.
My initial thoughts were that it may have been a changed environment (even though i did not believe it had changed), however too many different environments tested have had the same issue.
This was previously mentioned on:
