Problems with wireless intel 3945ABG

[fuecy]

Hi, I just boght a new vaio VGN-FE21H and I have some trouble with my wireless.

On windows I get connection for a few sec and that’s it. Connection lost. I try the new intel 3945ABG drivers. No change.

On linux. Installed successfully the opensource drivers. Get connection and dhcp but I lose my connection again. When I ping a internet address after a while it will be back and down again :s

All other different notebooks work fine on the network. Nothing special, no encryption just a default network. I haven’t the time jet to tryout on another network but it shouldn’t be the problem I guess.

Has someone experience with this problem or is it just broken?

Hi fuecy and welcome to ClubVaio.

Have you got your wireless card set to Max Performance?

What kind of Max Performance. in case of power settings i did.

I didn't have much time, but this is what i find out until now.

On linux. Until now I think it’s a problem according the IEEE 802.11b (11Mbit) standard. There is an unsolved bug in the driver that can be found here. On IEEE 802.11a (54Mbit) it Works fine (until now )

On windows I didn’t try to find out the problem yet
