I have F8 installed on a new Lenovo T61p with a 4965 wireless. I have
the following odd behaviour. There are 3 AP's in on the same network -
in fact no others are within scan range.
It seemed to be working fine - and associating with the nearest AP
(100% signal).
Suddenly after a reboot - (new kernel etc) - it refuses to connect to
the AP 12 inches from the laptop and insists on picking a second AP
which has very weak signal.
modprobe -r iwl4965 and re-initing the interface (via ifup/ifdown
using correct configs in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
ifcfg-wlan0
No go.
However this black magic appears to work.
a) modprobe -r iwl4965
b) iwconfig wlan0 channel 11 # This is channel of
close AP
This spins and will not connect.
c) kill above.
d) modprobe -r iwl4965
e) turn off the radio kill switch and then turn it back on - this is
located on front of laptop.
f) ifup wlan0
Now - it picks up the AP next to the laptop ...
Are there some intel driver issues perhaps ???
thanks
