The solution would be an option to disable background scanning in nm -- sure
While no one in nm devel does so, i've done a hackish fix: in nm- device-802-11-wireless.c, changing 14 to 10 solved the problem (since my atheros has 11 channels) /*¬ * A/B/G cards should only scan if they are disconnected. Set the timeout to active¬ * for the case we lose this connection shortly, it will reach this point and then¬ * nm_device_is_activated will return FALSE, letting the scan proceed.¬ */¬ /////if ((self->priv->num_freqs > 14) && nm_device_is_activated (NM_DEVICE (self)) == TRUE)¬ /////Atheros does not like scanning too and has 11 channels, changing this to 10 (Kassick) if ((self->priv->num_freqs > 10) && nm_device_is_activated (NM_DEVICE (self)) == TRUE)¬ {¬ nm_device_802_11_wireless_set_scan_interval (app_data, self, NM_WIRELESS_SCAN_INTERVAL_ACTIVE);>¬ goto reschedule;¬ }¬ -- Regular network drops with madwifi https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/37821 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
