Bug#480213: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64: Losing wifi connection - switched to short barker preamble
Package: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.24-5
Severity: important
my wifi is losing conectivity and sending the next message to kernel -
eth1: switched to short barker preamble
maybe this is connected to bug: 462711 (same error there )
here is the message :
eth1: Initial auth_alg=0
eth1: authenticate with AP 00:11:6b:22:7f:76
eth1: RX authentication from 00:11:6b:22:7f:76 (alg=0 transaction=2
status=0)
eth1: authenticated
eth1: associate with AP 00:11:6b:22:7f:76
eth1: RX AssocResp from 00:11:6b:22:7f:76 (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=1)
eth1: associated
eth1: switched to short barker preamble (BSSID=00:11:6b:22:7f:76)
this appers dozens of times in dmesg
