Hello there
I am currently running wi-fi as per the suggestion in this guide
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=15246
However, the problem is that every so often the wireless randomly disconnects. First things will start lagging ( games / webpage loads / whatever ). Eventually the Airport software realizes it, and the connection displayed icon goes away and it tries to reconnect. Sometimes it brings up the dialogue to enter the password, but when i type it in and hit enter, it usually says "Connection Timed Out".
Sometimes I will have ping running during these disconnects:
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=52 ttl=64 time=1.408 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=53 ttl=64 time=1.012 ms
Request timeout for icmp_seq 54
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=54 ttl=64 time=1801.338 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=55 ttl=64 time=801.565 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=56 ttl=64 time=2.137 ms
Sometimes it is like this, and it will only have a few dropped or very high latency packets, sometimes it will disconnect entirely.
Additionally, sometimes the ping requests will begin to time out, and the airport interface won't notice and think it is still connected.
I have had this same issue with the adapter I'm currently using, a Broadcom BCM94322MC with a PCIE adapter, as well as my old (and Crappy) Asus USB-N13, and an older Linksys G one. Aha! you say, so it must be my router. Well I thought so too, but it seems that when I get these disconnects, other computers are still fine.
For instance I will run ping on two separate computers at the same time (both Hackintoshes) and while they both suffer from thee disconnects, it is not at the same time.
Anyways, sorry for the long post, it's a very frustrating issue, and I don't really know enough about networking to diagnose it further. Anyone have any suggestions?
P.S. Here is a dmesg from around the time of the disconnect:
