Problems with intel 5100agn

i’m running opensuse 11.3, my problem with my wireless is that it randomly drops the connections at random points

do i need to update a driver?

p.s. I dual boot it with win 7 and in win 7 it works fine.

I note some users with the 5300AGN and also 5100AGN have reported this on another thread.

I do not experience this with my 5300AGN on openSUSE-11.3, but I have not updated from the original 2.6.34-12 kernel.

I recommend you write a bug report on this, on openSUSE-11.3. Guidance is here: openSUSE:Submitting bug reports - openSUSE … use your openSUSE forum user name and password to log on to bugzilla.
