CRITICAL: Wireless connection destroyed on some Netbooks
 

Could not find the package, but here goes the historial in 2 Netbooks:

*- Was first noticed on Ubuntu 11.04RC after installation over previous working 10.10
*- It was introduced in Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 by April,28 updates.

*- And confirmed to be in action in the latest Mint Debian XFCE.
*- Not kernel related (previous kernels were tested, under the unknown "updated" package)
Behavior:
*- Not a driver problem.
* *Though a previous initialization of the wireless board would allow
* *a correct connection on Linux, as long as hot reboot was made (no power-off).*
*- Handshake fails.
* *When Wicd was tried, sequence was: None, Local, None => Password failure


Notes:
*- There's a chance the board may be misidentified (driver is R8169) but only hanshake fails.
*- Notice that if windows was called previous to linux, the handshake would go fine.
*- This is affecting all ACER AspireOne Netbooks using the same wireless board.
This is all I got.
I'm available for testings if needed.

Best regards,

Thanks for the heads-up but better if you provide additional data, for
instance:

- Is the wifi card detected at all? → lspci
- Is it available under your network settings? → /sbin/ifconfig
- What do logs say? → review your "/var/log/syslog" and "/var/log/
wpa_supplicant" files

- Have you tried to setup the card manually or by using another tool
(NetworkManager)?

You meant that if you first boot into windows and then start linux the
card is working okay? That sounds to me like a power saving issue, I
remember something similar happened with some models of realtek wired
ethernet adapters some years ago... :-?

Both Mint and Ubuntu have their own mailing lists. As far and I can tell, you
didn't even test on Debian, rendering your posting off-topic for this mailing
list.
