I'm getting the same error with a zd1211 based adapter We have updated kernel to 2.6.35.12 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=236995 perhaps it fix that problem, please check out. If not, can we get full dmesg of failure? Unfortunately it is not working for me. I checked extensively with the RT61 card (pcmcia) which does work. This is the dmesg on the RTL card: [ 39.114788] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready [ 123.960007] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d by local choice (reason=3) [ 124.209056] wlan0: authenticate with 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d (try 1) [ 124.213058] wlan0: authenticated [ 124.233273] wlan0: associate with 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d (try 1) [ 124.253481] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=2) [ 124.253489] wlan0: associated [ 124.255170] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready [ 135.122036] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present [ 278.897973] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d by local choice (reason=3) [ 284.363490] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d by local choice (reason=3) [ 284.593096] wlan0: authenticate with 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d (try 1) [ 284.594751] wlan0: authenticated [ 284.614058] wlan0: associate with 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d (try 1) [ 284.634053] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=2) [ 284.634059] wlan0: associated [ 1260.944566] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d by local choice (reason=3) [ 1375.477097] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d by local choice (reason=3) [ 1375.707079] wlan0: authenticate with 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d (try 1) [ 1375.708576] wlan0: authenticated [ 1375.728056] wlan0: associate with 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d (try 1) [ 1375.748060] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=2) [ 1375.748067] wlan0: associated [ 1534.221696] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d by local choice (reason=3) [ 1626.650163] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d by local choice (reason=3) [ 1626.880109] wlan0: authenticate with 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d (try 1) [ 1626.881702] wlan0: authenticated [ 1626.901053] wlan0: associate with 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d (try 1) [ 1626.921087] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=2) [ 1626.921100] wlan0: associated [ 1686.180183] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:1e:e5:f9:a2:6d by local choice (reason=3) It does connect to the WLAN, but somehow it fails to receive data. Don't know about sending. Is this issue still present in F-16 and/or F-15 ? (In reply to comment #4) > Is this issue still present in F-16 and/or F-15 ? Using F16, the issue has been kind-of resolved. The RTL does have connection now, but it is not stable. Some websites load reasonably fast, others indicate the connection is made but do not load. Of the websites that don not load. some keep loading, some time out. Using the RT61, everything is as fast as should be. Created attachment 556751 [details]
Output of "dmesg | grep wlan0"
This is the output of "dmesg | grep wlan0"
With the latest F16 kernel update, kernel-3.2.2-1.fc16.i686, my wireless (both RT61 and RTL) does not start. Going back to kernel-3.2.1-3.fc16.i686 my wireless works as described previously. 3.2.2-1 has problem with eeprom module (bug 785393), this should be fixed soon. [mass update] kernel-3.3.0-4.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository. Please retest with this update. [mass update] kernel-3.3.0-4.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository. Please retest with this update. [mass update] kernel-3.3.0-4.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository. Please retest with this update. Did the requested retesting. The performance has clearly improved, but compared to the RT61 not up to speed yet. While the ping command delivers a reasonably acceptable result, loading webpages still takes too long. An average page takes well over 10 seconds to load, while the RT61 loads the same page in 5 seconds or less. I'm sorry, but I will not fix this bug, rtl8180L is old device and I have some more serious issues on more recent hardware. Changing the topic to reflect the problem. |
