Shouldn't "lsmod | grep mac80211" work to check if that module is loaded?
I also have the motherboard asus p5k-e wifi and I'm also having problems with the wifi, on ubuntu 8.04 (64-bit). However, the wifi drops are not as frequent as they used to be just after the installation, which is a good thing. But they still happen, and some times when I try to load the module again, it hangs there, and I'm unable to kill the modprobe process. I also have the "CTS protection enabled" (or disabled) messages in dmesg. -- rtl8187 drops connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182473 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
