After a couple other folks said they had luck by getting rid of network- manager, I figured I'd give wicd another shot. I removed network manager, rebooted, manually configured a wired network, then installed wicd. I've been going on a few days now with no disconnects, so perhaps something is amiss with network-manager.
That being said, wicd doesn't seem to work 100% either in that it never shows me other wireless networks. When I first installed wicd, it showed me a list of wireless networks and I picked mine and put in my WPA passphrase. After rebooting, wicd kept prompting me for my password. I got around that by adding "exec wicd" to /etc/init/networking.conf. Wicd always connects to my network on reboot without issue, but if I try to scan for other networks, it says none are found. As long as it connects to my network, I'm okay, but it's still not right. As a side note, as root if I do an iwlist scan, I get an error message about resource temporarily unavailable. If I do an iwlist scan as a non-root user, it returns my network, but no others. At least I have a usable wireless connection now. I may go back now and try to build an old otusdriver, as the ar9170usb driver still doesn't support n speeds. -- Wireless connection frequently drops [deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548992 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
