Indeed, I just rebooted into windows (i have a dual boot setup) and found that windows device manager reports the wireless as this:<br>Atheros AR5B93 Wireless Network Adapter<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 19, 2010 at 12:16 AM, Kenneth Adam Miller <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kennethadammiller@gmail.com">kennethadammiller@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

To give you more detail, I will say that what is happening, is I will suddenly stop receiving data packages. Network Monitor does NOT detect that I am disconnected. I haven't been patient enough to see if it will reconnect on it's own, because simply going up to NM in the top bar and selected the wireless that I want again does the trick. But I don't want to continually have to deal with this problem.<br>
<br>Among the things that I have tried after following some of the forum posts that I have discovered with research are updating the kernel and creating a file /etc/modprobe.conf and placing the lines<br><br>alias wlan0 iwlagn <br>
options iwlagn swcrypto50=1 swcrypto=1<br><br>inside. I also placed this short line inside the file I created under "/etc/pm/config.d/00sleep_modules": SUSPEND_MODULES="ath9k"<br><br>None of these have fixed the problem.<br>
<br>Dmesg | tail reports this:<br><br><a href="http://pastebin.com/4aSJgVMp" target="_blank">http://pastebin.com/4aSJgVMp</a><br><br>In particular, this line has drawn my attention: [ 2134.207681] wlan0: deauthenticating from 30:46:9a:3d:b2:1a by local choice (reason=3)<br>
<br>I am on an Acer 5740-6025 laptop. The wifi card is supposed to be this: <br>04:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)<br><br>Does anyone know why this is happening? or what I can do to fix this?<br>
