Ghostwind Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Hi guys, I came across a bug after upgrading my linux distro (fedora core 15--> 16), where my intel wireless chipset keeps dropping the connection intermittently, and works again after reconnecting to the AP again. What I found out is that there is a bug in the 3.2.x kernel which causes this problem. According to the fedora (http://fedoraproject...in_802.11n_mode), and a bugzilla report (https://bugzilla.red...g.cgi?id=785239; post 5) the easiest way to fix this is to disable 802.11n. this can be done like this: Create a file called: /etc/modprobe.d/intel-80211n.conf and insert the following line: options iwlagn 11n_disable=1 Reboot, and your issues should disapear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckun Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Did this work for you? or are you asking for help because it doesn't? Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwind Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 It worked. I posted here because I have been struggling to figure out what it was, and I assume others will eventually run into this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
