[Mageia-discuss] Mageia 2 Wireless LAN (Wifi) Connection Keeps Getting Disconnected

Fri Aug 10 10:09:30 CEST 2012

Hi all,
+
+my Mageia 2 Wireless LAN (Wifi) Connection keeps getting disconnected. I tried running this script as root:
+
+<<<<
+#!/bin/bash
+IP="10.0.0.138"
+# IP="192.168.1.1"
+while true ; do
+	if ! ping -c 4 "$IP" ; then
+		service network restart
+		# /etc/init.d/networkmanager restart
+		sleep 10
+	fi 
+	sleep 5
+done
+>>>>
+
+It helps a lot, but sometimes one of the programs gets wedged as well,
+and I need to run "pkill -9 ifplugd" as well. Is there any way to tell
+NetworkManager, netapplet, or whatever the flavour of the day is to
+start the connection again promptly after a disconnect?
+
+My laptop's specs are:
+
+<<<<
+I also have an Acer Aspire 5738DZG laptop with the following specs:
+
+    Intel Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4300 @ 2.10GHz. (x86-64).
+    ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4570 (r700)
+    15.6" 3D HD LCD Screen.
+    3 GB Memory
+    320 GB Hard Disk Drive.
+    “DVD Super Multi DL drive”
+    Acer Nplify™ 802.11b/g/n.
+>>>>
+
+I'd rather not have to baby sit it all the time.
