Ik heb sinds een week of 2 problemen met de combinatie draadloos Experia Box ---> Linux [redhat en ubuntu] met wifi (wpa/wpa2) IPW2200 (DELL6000).
Het lukt me wel om een connectie tot stand te brengen (wpa_supplicant en Gnome NetworkManager/NetworkManagerDispatcher) maar na een korte tijd (halve minuut tot minuut) wordt de verbinding verbroken.
Dit gaat net zolang door als dat ik NetworkManager aan heb staan. Met name vervelend als ik bijvoorbeeld yum-update of apt-get update draai.
Zijn er meer mensen die dit probleem hebben ?
Ik overigens een goede url gevonden voor Linux Gigaset 108 usb onder ubuntu/... m.b.v. Ndiswrapper:

Ubuntu Guide To Installing Wireless Cards (CARDS: PCMCIA RT2500 54mbit, Siemens Gigaset 108 USB Adapter).
Written by apinta10 - 2006-06-26 11:33
Hello I wanted to submit a simple how to for installing 2 wirless cards.
1. PCMCIA RT2500 card - used a source for it and compiled it as a module.
First I used all with my default kernel on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. Works great. No dubts!
Unpack source RT61_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.4.0.tar.gz
As root! Any folder.
However there are 2 Files for Rt61 - source code and firmware. I dint copy firmware. So it worked without. You can try both.
there is a *Configure file. Tryed to execute it it didnt work as it should.
$: make
So we made a module! (Kernel HEADERS, sources are NEEDED)!
Modpost was made.
modprobe rt61
insert the card.
$:dmesg
check for ra0:
or type: dmesg | grep ra0
it will come.
$: iwconfig
it should list the card without connecting to any SSID.
so type:
$: iwconfig ra0 essid -network name-
$: iwconfig
to check it.
$: ifconfig - it won't be listed > ra0
$: ifconfig ra0 up - activate ra0 (leds will blink - youll be connected to AP, OPEN AP, NO KEY and Encription, I used MAC address filtering for my Wireless, So I dont use encryption)
$: ifconfig - check for ra0 again (there wont be ip address i think... i didnt get it at first)...
$: dhclient ra0 - to activate DHCP client to get an IP from the router... (router needs to have DHCP server activated)....
$: ifconfig - to check again...
$: ping
www.google.com - you should get reply...
2. Siemens USB Adapter 108
I lost two weeks settings this up. First i had slackware 10.1 coudn't make it work. So I installed ubuntu.
Ubuntu has intergrated Ndiswrapper 1.8 inside its kernel. And it is enough to push this card to make its job.
Now...
copy WindowsXP drivers to one folder in linux.
/home/s108 - example
since ndiswrapper does work in Ubuntu we need to install 2 files.
athfmwdl.inf i think its called and
net5523.inf
YOU NEED TO COPY ALL FILES IN FOLDER FROM WINDOWS XP DRIVERS.
ndiswrapper -i athfmwdl.inf
ndiswrapper -i net5523.inf
ndiswrapper -l (you should get, driver installed, present) - plug in after you installed
modprobe ndiswrapper - type this ALWAYS after you installed something (you'll get errors if you do earlier)
dmesg
look for ndiswrapper and wlan0 - if wlan0 is not listed type again dmesg (loads few seconds later)
iwconfig
iwconfig wlan0 essid -network-
ifconfig
This card should start atomatically and get ip address and all after you plugged it in!
