Cannot Keep Wireless Online (laptop)

linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi I am having a serious issue with keeping the Wireless online under F17. I am not sure what interrupts the connection. A complete reboot is the only way to recover the connection. The lspci command shows the Wireless Adapter as follows ---> 03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev ff) <--- The Wireless comes up everytime on reboot but I do not know how to reconnect without rebooting. Can anyone help me understand what is potentially going on? ---> uname -a gives the following ---> Linux computer.localdomain 3.6 (HowTos)

HI I have installed F17 on a new Acer Laptop that belongs to my wife. Release 17 (BeefyMiracle) 64-bit Kernel Linux 3.5.3-1.fc17.x86_64 GNOME 3.4.2. At what appears to be random times the Wifi connections drops. A reboot brings it back but what could be causing this dropping of the wireless connection?

I'm been having problems keeping a steady connection with my Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter. It will drops down to 1mb/s and then randomly will go back up to 150mb/s

I had stumbled upon the fix once before but I just cant seem to find it this time.

this is what I got from lspci 08:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

I recently installed xfce4 with a wired connection and used the newly updated install cd ISO. After using the wired connection to install what I needed I went on to install what is needed for the wireless setup. I went with wpa_supplicant and networkmanager. I configured my wpa_supplicant.conf appropriately and installed the drivers needed for my atheros wireless adapter.
