Wifi dropping with out recovery (Solved)

[Brotherred]

This I am sorry to say is a fresh install on my laptop. That fact is a grievous note for me... Anyway my Wifi that other seems to work perfectly drops at random and I can not recover it with out restart. The Wifi works great and automatically on login. So I have no idea why it disconnects like it does. And also not having attempted to hack the suspend/ resume on this instance further can not see why it fails at all.

Code: [Select]

*** ~ $ inxi -n
Network:   Card-1: Ralink RT2500 Wireless 802.11bg driver: rt2500pci 
           IF: wlan0 state: up mac: 00:11:09:ae:f5:02
           Card-2: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet driver: sis900 
           IF: eth0 state: down mac: 00:0c:76:f6:b7:5c
*** ~ $ inxi -M
Machine:   System: AVERATEC product: 6240 Series version: 0101
           Mobo: N/A model: N/A Bios: American Megatrends version: A1011SMS V1.10 12/06/04 date: 12/06/2004

At least I haven't done anything really stupid with it yet. Regards.

You might want to give WiCD a go instead of networkmanager

Do you need help with this .. if so please post the output from:

Code: [Select]

and

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get remove -s network-manager

Thanx for asking. I am quite sure that I have no idea what I need help with...

Okay, first let's grab what you'll need to reinstall networkmanager if things go wrong

Code: [Select]

mkdir ~/reinstall-nm

then

Code: [Select]

cd ~/reinstall-nm

then

Code: [Select]

apt-get download network-manager network-manager-gnome

if that lot went without error, carry on below

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install wicd-gtk python-wicd wicd-daemon

then

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get remove network-manager network-manager-gnome

now try connecting with wicd (if there's no system tray icon for wicd yet, you may need to start it from the menu, or reboot)


to undo

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get remove --purge wicd-gtk python-wicd wicd-daemon

then

Code: [Select]

cd ~/reinstall-nm

then

Code: [Select]

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

then if necessary reboot.

I'm sorry I just don't understand this first part TO DO

Code: [Select]

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get remove --purge wicd-gtk python-wicd wicd-daemon

I just installed those. Why am I removing them?

[murraymint]

It says "to undo" if you want to go back to how it was before.

[Brotherred]

Ok, that should have been obvious. The wicd applications seem to be working fine.
