[Bug 1033319] Re: Centrino 1030/iwlwifi disconnects ~30 s from N access points

 

Andy Pascall, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc4

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** Description changed:

  Just got a new computer with a centrino N 1030 wireless card. Ubuntu
  uses the iwlwifi driver with it.
  
  When I am connected to an 802.11N access point, the wireless stops
  working about every 30 seconds, for about 30 seconds. The connection
  doesn't disconnect, it just stops working.
  
- If I'm on a G access point, or force a G connection, everything is fine.
+ WORKAROUND: If I'm on a G access point, or force a G connection,
+ everything is fine.
