Hi, (please CC me) I have a "rtl8723ae" losing connectivity. I can reproduce that. So, if somebody wants to send me patches, I think I can test them. (this machine is for Win7, not Linux, and I have to hand it out soon) Hardware: Toshiba Sat. Pro C850-1F5, PN PSCBXE-01800CEP, lspci: 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device [10ec:8723] Software: Kernel: tested with 3.8.2 + 3.9-rc2 Don't know for sure if they behave excatly the same. Firmware: rtl8723fw_B blob-993c7f6ecea30c5bae914c4c22152735d8eb0d61 (20130312) Behaviour depends on power-on path. Power-on -> Win7 -> reboot -> Linux results in a different behaviour from Power-on -> Linux. Observations: (Power-on -> Linux) - DHCP gets done, some ping to the laptop make it through. - Then, pings to the laptop get lost, may start working again, or not. - Transferrates are about 500 kB/s, AP at about 1 m. - If pings are comming back and ping is stopped, restarting ping will not show pings comming back immediatly (see below). - ping response to the laptop is ok when a ping from the laptop is active. (started from a script in inittab) (Power-on -> Win7 -> reboot -> Linux) - pings don't fail (at least for 3.9-rc2) initially. - Transferrates are about 250 kB/s Hope this was useful... Some additional info: (Power-on -> Linux, 3.9-rc2) ping 192.168.112.107 PING 192.168.112.107 (192.168.112.107) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.112.107: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=194266 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.112.107: icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=193266 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.112.107: icmp_req=3 ttl=64 time=192266 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.112.107: icmp_req=4 ttl=64 time=191267 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.112.107: icmp_req=5 ttl=64 time=190268 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.112.107: icmp_req=6 ttl=64 time=189269 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.112.107: icmp_req=7 ttl=64 time=188272 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.112.107: icmp_req=8 ttl=64 time=187275 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.112.107: icmp_req=193 ttl=64 time=2276 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.112.107: icmp_req=194 ttl=64 time=1277 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.112.107: icmp_req=195 ttl=64 time=279 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.112.107: icmp_req=196 ttl=64 time=2.15 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.112.107: icmp_req=197 ttl=64 time=1.67 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.112.107: icmp_req=198 ttl=64 time=3.58 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.112.107: icmp_req=199 ttl=64 time=1.59 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.112.107: icmp_req=200 ttl=64 time=1.41 ms ^C --- 192.168.112.107 ping statistics --- 200 packets transmitted, 16 received, 92% packet loss, time 199005ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.418/95624.968/194266.838/95159.788 ms, pipe 195 Regards, Antonio (Maretzek) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
