[Bug 56894] Re: WLAN disconnects repeatedly from AP when using WPA on a SMP machine

[mvavallo]

I'm using Hardy Heron alpha 5 on Toshiba Satellite 1130-S155 with
SMC2632w (atmel chip) pcmcia V3 card.

When I try to use update manager the connection with ap is lost. I've
noticed that the wireless signal drops to 0% and then the connection is
broken.

Sometimes, browsing the web, it has the same behavior but little time
after it restores and goes on.

Using iwconfig i got:

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

eth1      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:"SMC"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point: 00:04:E2:88:45:D4   
          Bit Rate:11 Mb/s   
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off

          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:2021


Using sudo lspci | grep Atmel  (driver for my card) i got:

I couldn't make it work with gutsy.
