FC18/KDE , I can no longer update F18 any more
I have a Dell D600 Latitude that is dropping the router dd-wrt.
Wireless networking is okay for about 20- 30 minutes before it drops
If I try to reconnect Wlan0 and Connections there is no dd-wrt router
shown in Connections to connect to.
I have to restart the Laptop to get dd-wrt router to show up in
Network Connections so I can reconnect.
The wireless card on laptop uses the b43legacy driver
The wireless card is a Broadcom BCM4306
Do you have another wireless card you can try? an external one? Your
card may be failing.
There is the issue that F18 is no longer supported as well but
everything else being equal if it worked before then it should still
work, unless, there is something wrong with the router or the card.
You can rule out updates to F18 causing the issue. That's an upside.
Did you have any issues getting it to work with F18 to start with?
Have you updated the router recently?
Have you tried reseating the wireless card? Just because its internal
doesn't mean you can't try it. Assuming you know how to get to it. You
should be able to find the manual on the Dell support page.
If I had a nickel for every time re-seating a component worked...well
you know.
