Subject: [gentoo-user] Wireless trouble, bad hardware?
Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2006 18:04:13 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49bf44f10610231804s1c558ea3h8f2dcd8dce0d30e7@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I'm having trouble with one of my systems not being able to reliably
connect to my Gentoo router wirelessly.

I have a Netgear WG311T in the router and also the desktop that is
having trouble.  I have a Netgear WG511T in my laptop.  They all use
the madwifi driver.  The laptop connects perfectly every time, and the
desktop used to connect perfectly but has slowly become less and less
reliable until now it rarely connects.  The laptop and desktop are
both about 12 feet from the router.  I'm in an apartment, but it
doesn't seem like interference could be the problem since the laptop
connects perfectly every time.

Can anyone recommend anything to check in software?  Does this sound
like a hardware problem?
