I have 3 Gentoo systems connected to my wireless network. 2 of them have Netgear PCMCIA wireless cards and the third has a PCI card that is a Netgear of the same series (if you know what I mean). That desktop is the farthest away from the access point, but it has had a rock-solid connection for a long time. It is now connected only intermittently. It always seems to connect on boot up, but sometimes it can reach the network during operation and sometimes it can not. It is 100% up to date with the portage tree and I have tried rebooting. Does anyone have any ideas?
I'm using the madwifi-driver and wpa_supplicant with a WPA network. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
