| Hi,
|
After using an uninterrupted wifi connection over any AP, my openSUSE won’t connect to anything more until I reboot the system, even if I disconnect and reconnect the wifi from KNetworkManager won’t solve the problem. The uninterrupted connection is aperiodic, I mean, I could still connected sometimes 2 hours, sometimes 3 minutes or half hour …
OpenSUSE 12.2
Kernel : 3.4.11-2.16-desktop x86_64
Driver Modules: “rtl8192se”
Thank you for your help.

That disconnection surely leaves some trace in the dmesg output. I don’t see any
of that in your report. We must have that. In addition, there are three
different variants of the RTL8192SE card that all use rtl8192se as the driver.
Which one do you have? The output of the appropriate line of ‘/sbin/lspci -nn’
will tell me that.
Be aware that I have instituted a new policy to get people to read what I write.
If you post the entire lspci listing, I will not reply!
I have samples of all three variants - they run without difficulty. You also
need to post the entire output of ‘sudo /usr/sbin/iwlist scan’ and indicate
which entry in the listing is your AP. That will tell me the strength of the
signal and the amount of interference in your neighborhood.
Please include all computer output inside code tags using the advanced edit
modes. I hope I got that right as I read the list using NNTP.
You can usually avoid needing to reboot by running the command pair shown below.
sudo /sbin/modprobe -rv rtl8192se
sudo /sbin/modprobe -v rtl8192se
Finally, the compat-wireless package includes the wireless drivers in kernel
3.7. Trying it will get you all the updates from 3.4 to 3.7.
