Description
bugzilla
2012-07-08 06:03:09 UTC
correction: 3.3.x works, just running 3.3.7-1 so its only at 3.4 So, 3.3.4-5 doesn't connect and 3.3.7-1 does. But, 3.4-based kernels aren't working for you? What is the exact 3.4-based kernel you are runing ('uname -a' output)? What is the basis for your speculation that "there is a big power/energy problem"? > So, 3.3.4-5 doesn't connect and 3.3.7-1 does. No. As mentioned in Comment #1: 3.3.x works (including 3.3.4-5), and 3.3.7-1 - i had only the debug version of 3.3.4-5 which i thought i was running, but it was a 3.4 version, whatever, 3.3.x is working. I cant uname now as i am not on my station. Will do that later. It is the current and latest version available for fedora. The basis of my speculation is that its working like a charm on windows and all kernels < 3.4 If you think this is a wlan problem regarding my hardware/location etc.: no it is not. At the moment (regarding the kernel version) i can only say (as mentioned in my first post) it is a 3.4.4.5 kernel if this may help you. [oli@lucy ~]$ cat very_important_informations.txt Linux lucy 3.4.4-5.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jul 5 20:20:59 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux No idea what you can see from this line what is not mentioned before, but here it is. If you need further informations, just tell me and i will see that i can provide them. Something new regarding this bug? Are you still seeing this with the 3.6.11 or newer kernels? This bug is being closed because it has been set needinfo for more than 2 weeks without a response. If this is still an issue, please reopen and reply with the requested information. yes this bug still occurs, didnt see that someone posted here, sorry What is the most recent kernel version you have tried it with? Linux lucy2 3.7.1-5.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jan 8 16:21:34 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I can find now my AP but its still not the same result as it should be because when i use an old kernel which "works" i see at least 5 more APs. I am just doing an update.. This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Hi Oliver, Where are you with this? I see that you are just doing an update..if that means moving to a later kernel permanently, that's good. What's your situation now? Is this still a problem for you? I created this bug over a year ago, in hope that someone could stick deeper into that. Unfortunately, as no one gave a sh*t about that, i switched the stick. Oliver, Sorry we couldn't help you in a more timely manner. I hope your new device is performing at your expectation level. I'll close this as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. |
