Update: I successfully installed 3.8 RC 5. My issues persist. They have changed somewhat, though. On my home network (standard wireless N router), I was able to boot into RC5 and connect us for a couple hours with no issues. Previously, I had to disable N (using "sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1") to connect reliably. This is a success.
However, the new kernel made things much worse on my office's enterprise wireless network (Meru). I connected for about ten minutes initially, then lost the connection and was never able to get back on. I tried rebooting, reloading modules, etc. These log messages repeated about every ten seconds in the kernel log: Jan 29 13:26:42 eryn-ultrabook kernel: [ 4401.682626] wlan0: authenticate with 00:0c:e6:0a:a6:1d Jan 29 13:26:42 eryn-ultrabook kernel: [ 4401.685316] wlan0: send auth to 00:0c:e6:0a:a6:1d (try 1/3) Jan 29 13:26:42 eryn-ultrabook kernel: [ 4401.887871] wlan0: send auth to 00:0c:e6:0a:a6:1d (try 2/3) Jan 29 13:26:42 eryn-ultrabook kernel: [ 4402.091578] wlan0: send auth to 00:0c:e6:0a:a6:1d (try 3/3) Jan 29 13:26:42 eryn-ultrabook kernel: [ 4402.295328] wlan0: authentication with 00:0c:e6:0a:a6:1d timed out Jan 29 13:26:50 eryn-ultrabook kernel: [ 4410.373995] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:0c:e6:0a:89:28 by local choice (reason=2) I've since booted back into 3.2. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1091372 Title: wifi slows and/or drops frequently To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-sputnik/+bug/1091372/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
