[1] One line summary of the problem A few minutes after booting, the Wi-Fi disconnects and it fails to reconnect until I restart the machine. [2] Full description of the problem/report I start the machine, a Samsung R580 laptop and the Wi-Fi connects. Then, after 5 or 10 minutes, while the Wi-Fi still appears to be connected, I can no longer load web pages. Then, a few minutes later, the Wi-Fi is disconnected. I tried some iconfig commands to try to reconnect it, but it does not work. It is crucial to notice that this happens only in 64 bit kernels. I tested 3.13 to the latest upstream. The machine running a 32 bit kernel stays connected forever.
I have been running my RTL8192E with driver r8192e_pci from a 64-bit kernel 4.4-rc8 for over 39 hours with no disconnects. Other than the driver logging meaningless outputs, all has been fine.
Do you get any real errors logged? Larry -- 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
