| eTangenT | anyone know anything about NetworkManager? |
| doje | what's your question ? |
| eTangenT | well, if I leave my connection idle for a little bit of time, it drops the connection and doesn't reconnect. any thoughts on why this is? |
| doje | wireless or wired ? |
| eTangenT | wireless using ipw2200 drivers |
| doje | will it reconnect if you manually select it again ? |
| eTangenT | yes |
| doje | I'm not sure about knetworkmanager reconnecting - oddly i have that prob in xp on this machine and not in suse one thing you can try is to change the channel on the router to try and not get booted off in the first place |
| eTangenT | doje, the signal is always around 80% and if I'm getting kicked off, it's always when I'm not using the connection which incidentally enough, is usually when I'm not here |
| doje | powersave perhaps ? does it do it when you're at the machine but not using the network as well ? |
| eTangenT | yeah probably powersave, I guess alright reconfigured it hopefully this works thanks :D |
| doje | np, i hope that works for ya |
| jlowell | hey folks, i'm having a hell of a time with ndiswrapper... ive got an hp dv9208nr and by lspci it seems to have a dell wireless broadcom 1930 mini pci... |
| jhulst_ | Do you have the driver installed? |
| jlowell | i can see wlan0 in iwconfig if I use ndiswrapper 1.38 (latest released) compiled by hand... and a bcwl5.inf but i cant if i use yast ndiswrapper |
| jhulst_ | what does "iwlist wlan0 scan" give you? |
| jlowell | but although I added it in network config yast2 it still will not conect wlan0 No scan results |
| jhulst_ | is there a hardware switch? |
| jlowell | jhulst_, yes but its on |
