Hi, I have been trying to find some answer to the problem of why I can't stay connected to some hotel's wifi with linux, while I can with windows. In Linux, I can only stay connected for about 10 minutes before I am dropped. I have continually decreasing speed of browsing while I am connected. To reconnect, I have to restart the wireless with #rcnetwork restart. I can do this about 3-5 times until I can no longer connect to the hotel router unless I restart the computer. In Windows7 I have very fast speed of browsing and can stay connected without time limit. In windows7 I have no issue trying to connect at any time, it simply connects right up. I am using Win7 and opensuse 12.3, but this has been an ongoing problem in multiple opensuse versions including 13.1. I am using KDE desktop 4.11 on this installation of opensuse 12.3 from which I am posting this email, but I also have KDE 3.10 installed on a separate installation of opensuse 12.3 on this same laptop computer. After speaking with the tech support on the phone, he says that he shows that I am not connected to their system using the same IP address that we used with win7. I assured him that I was, so I read him my mac address and he was able to see that I was connected. He noticed that the response time for packets is 800 milliseconds in Linux, but is maximum 6 milliseconds in win7. I have some logs from wireshark showing the connection logs for my wlan in Linux and win7 that can be compared if that is advantageous. Once again I am asking for help in trying to fix this issue that has been unresolved for a couple of years now.
