Hi, I am at a hotel where I can connect to their wireless hotel router with Linux. However, I lose the connection about every 30 seconds to every couple of minutes. I can reconnect again and then I am good until it drops out again. This happens both with network manager and with ifup. I am using opensuse 11.4 and kde 4.8.5 release 521. I am using Firefox as the browser, but I also tried to use Konqueror with the identity changed to IE7 just in case that might help to fix things. That also did not help.

I have tried to check google and didn't really come up with anything useful to solve this issue.

When I run Win7 instead of opensuse, the connection is stable and doesn't disconnect like it does with linux.

Any ideas about what I might try to get linux working well?

Are you sure it doesn't just need a keepalive? Does it drop you in the middle of traffic as well?

Often just keeping the connection busy is enough

I forgot to mention in my previous reply that if I connect with Windows, the connection can remain dormant for hours and as soon as I reinitiate browsing there is an immediate response. The wireless connection stays active the whole time. The windows wireless connection is never dropped as the suse wireless connection is. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
