Ubuntu with netgear wg311v2

[Nithin]

It detected it find and after I setup network/interfaces was able to connect.

After reboot it works for a while and then completely stops working without
me doing anything.
iwlist wlan0 scan returns 0 results.

anyone else seen this problem? or how I can debug this?

Thanks,
Nithin.

Not sure what is going on.. What drivers and chipset does this netgear wg311v2 use?

you can see what the kernel says on the subject with the dmesg command.

you can see what your network configuration says with the ifconfig command and see what sort of wireless configuration you have with iwconfig.

You can try taking down your connection and take down the ethernet interfaces with ifconfig and then manually setting it back up..
ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig wlan0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx up
route add default gw yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

were xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx equals your ip address you want and yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is your gateway address.

And see if that does anything.

Also you can use lsmod, modprobe, and rmmod to manage your modules/drivers and try to unload and reload modules and such.

It was the same in 5.04. Despite it being a supposedly supported NIC. The problems if anything got worse in 5.10

Wireless hardware support is lousy is Ubuntu (as with Linux in general) unless you are using a very limited subset of NIC's Even if the NIC is supported, the tools to manage it are generally poor also.

Try taking off all your security (WEP or whatever you are using) and get ready to share your broadband.

yes, i've had it working without wep with no problems. 🙁

do you guys have any suggestions for a card that completely works in ubuntu? with no intervention after setup?
