puff, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .
If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report. apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance. ** Description changed: - This appears to be related to bug #352150 and possibly bug #331103, but - the problem still occurs (and much, much more frequently) under Lucid. - I have a thinkpad t43p with ipw2200 wireless. For several years it has worked perfectly on unsecured wireless networks. Recently I set up a home network with WPA2 encryption. I started seeing random disconnects every so often. Most of the time it reconnected and I restarted ssh, etc, and went on. Sometimes it did not reconnect at all. When I checked the syslog, I saw multiple occurrences of: - ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting. - - I researched the problem and found bug #352150 and others. The - conclusion seemed to be that it would be fixed in a newer version of the - kernel. I bore with it and eventually reinstalled my laptop with Lucid. - The problem continued and happens much more frequently, to the point - that most of the time, my wireless is useless. + ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting. Previously (pre-Lucid), the connection would stay good for several hours at a time, or would disconnect and then reconnect every ten or twenty minutes. Sometimes it would disconnect and reconnect every couple of minutes, eventually becoming unable to reconnect at all. Usually at that point, no matter how many times I retried, I couldn't get a connection. Sometimes, if I suspended and resumed, it seemed to start working again. Since reinstalling to Lucid, some days I'm lucky and get 10-20 minutes of working network, and then it starts disconnecting and reconnecting constantly, eventually giving up and unable to reconnect for the rest of the day. I have had problems, in the past, with ipw2200 not functioning when resuming from hibernate. In the past, I found that using modprobe to remove and reload the ipw2200 module would solve the problem. I tried that with this problem, e.g.: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- $ sudo modprobe -r ipw2200 $ sudo modprobe ipw2200 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- But it had no visible effect. In the 352150 comments, somebody suggested creating a file named /etc/modprobe.d/ipw2200.conf, containing this line: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- options ipw2200 hwcrypto=0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The comments also suggested using the hwcrypto=0 argument on the modprobe line, e.g.: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- $ sudo modprobe -r ipw2200 $ sudo modprobe ipw2200 hwcrypto=0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Neither of these had any visible effect.
