--- Comment #6 from Matthias Boettger
- lower link quality: IWL=71/100, IPW=84/100
Hmm, never saw this before. Is this ever the case?
It is ever the case.
- take long time to associate, ipw is much faster
Only for hidden networks?
I tested currently only a broadcasted WPA network
- no adjustable power management found (the wifi card within T60 and X61 becomes very hot without it)
I'm not sure if the 3945 has it too, but with my 4965 I have /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl4965/xxx/power_level for adjusting the power management.
Currently I use iwpriv set_power with ipw. Setting this is possible for me but for other users? You see, iwl is not really useable at the moment if you need to work over wifi many hours per day, especially with the interuptions. I think I found the reason for the crashing ipw module. I forgot that I put the ipw module in the list of modules to unload during suspend. If I remove ipw3945 from there everything is working during suspend but after first suspend I don't have any wifi device in NetworkManager. I need to restart network. After 2nd suspend and restarting network I'm unable to see any wifi networks. iwlist scan is empty too. After unloading und loading ipw manually everything is working again. Finally the crash is only happen if the module will be unloaded during suspend but is neccessary to get wifi working automatically after resume. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
