Have you compared / can you compare with other OS / people in your area with  same ISP ?

Thanks for such info!

Comment 2 Marcello Anni 2011-12-11 12:47:22 CET

in  windows works perfectely, consider also that the modem is 50 centimeters far... i think is a iwl module issue...

Comment 3 Thierry Vignaud 2011-12-11 18:47:39 CET

I don't see the link with drakx-net...

Comment 4 Marcello Anni 2011-12-11 20:46:43 CET

you're right, in fact i tried also with networkmanager and i didn't resolve. do you need any output/info?

Comment 5 Marcello Anni 2011-12-23 21:48:41 CET

any news? it's so strange that anyone else didn't notice this issue, this wifi module should be quite common... is it only a problem of mine (and my friend)?

Comment 6 Marcello Anni 2011-12-27 22:42:40 CET

setting thomas as assignee because is a kernel problem; getting higher the severity because i had a similar issue (always iwl module used) in another system: now this issue has happened in 3 (!) different systems. thomas, i hope you can help me to resolve this problem, i think many other people suffer from this issue.


cheers,
Marcello


PS= now i'm using kernel-server-2.6.38.7-1.mga-1-1.mga1, that it's ok

Comment 9 Thomas Backlund 2011-12-28 00:10:04 CET

as root.

dmesg > dmesg.out 

and attach the dmesg.out to this report.

Comment 10 Thomas Backlund 2011-12-28 00:12:52 CET

Oh, and do you mean in comment 7 that the 2.6.38.7-1.mga kernel works ok, but the 2.6.38.8 series dont work?

Comment 11 Marcello Anni 2011-12-29 11:29:58 CET

damn, i can't reproduce the issue anymore, maybe something's changed on my system or the steps to reproduce it are different compered to mine. we can wait some weeks, if there aren't any news i will close the bug. thank you


cheers,
Marcello
