Since a couple of weeks I noted my wireless connection (Broadcom 4310 ndis wrapper) stops working after a while, something like 10 minutes after I leave the notebook, a Dell Inspiron 1525. Then I have to ifconfig ndis0 down / ifconfig ndis0 up to reconnect.
The notebook is connected via WiFi to a router (DLink Dir300), who has another PC with WinXP connected by cable, this PC doesn't looses the connection. I don't remember having upgraded anything network related. What can be causing this behavior?. Below I copied a couple of config files I changed, specially dhclient.conf because I thought the problem was related to the DNS server of my ISP, but now I don't think that is the problem. uname -a: FreeBSD inspiron.local 7.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE #0: Fri May 1 08:49:13 UTC 2009 r...@walker.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 /boot/loader.conf bcmwl5_sys_load="YES" wlan_scan_ap_load="YES" wlan_scan_sta_load="YES" wlan_wep_load="YES" wlan_tkip_load="YES" snd_driver_load="YES" hw.snd.default_unit=1 hint.hdac.0.config="gpio2" hint.hdac.0.cad2.nid13.config="device=Speaker conn=Fixed" vboxdrv_load="YES" atapicam_load="YES" sem_load="YES" /etc/rc.conf keymap="spanish.iso.acc" inetd_enable="YES" linux_enable="YES" sshd_enable="YES" moused_enable="YES" rpcbind_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" dbus_enable="YES" amd_enable="YES" fusefs_enable="YES" ifconfig_ndis0="WPA DHCP" hostname="inspiron.local" /etc/dhclient.conf # $FreeBSD: src/etc/dhclient.conf,v 1.3.34.1 2009/04/15 03:14:26 kensmith Exp $ # # This file is required by the ISC DHCP client. # See ``man 5 dhclient.conf'' for details. # # In most cases an empty file is sufficient for most people as the # defaults are usually fine. # prepend domain-name-servers 4.2.2.1,4.2.2.2; /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 4.2.2.1 nameserver 4.2.2.2 nameserver 192.168.0.1 Thanks in advance, Leonardo M.
