https://bbs.archlinux.org – Okay, then go use another distro... no one is forcing you to stay here.If you wnat to actually try to debug the issue, rather than just whining, maybe you can specify what you actually tried instead of saying "I tried the above".  Did you actually set the module to load with those parameters?  If you want to keep using some crazy gui, that is fine, but I have no idea about that.  I think the best way to go about it is go back to the basics, and learn to connect manually.  If you can do that, then you can move to the next step of trying it with wicd or network mana (HowTos)

Stories similar to WiFi constantly acting erratic on Toshiba Laptop.

I am running Xubuntu 11.10. About a month ago the wifi was working fine, but one day it just started spiking like crazy and dropping me frequently -- sometimes once or twice a minute, sometimes I can stay connected for about 20 mins.

I am not having this problem with any other devices in the house (laptop w/ Windows 7, mobile phone), so I don't think it is a router issue.

I have been using 12.04 on my Toshiba satellite L750 for about 2 months now, and I have a very peculiar issue. My WiFi network will not connect to my Home WiFi, no matter how many different fixes I tried from the threads in this forum. The strange part is that the WiFi connects to other networks - At my university, Workplace etc. - EXCEPT for the 2 networks at my Home.

Wicd messed up my boot process 3 years 24 weeks ago

Hi, I'm running OS11.1 with Gnome on my laptop with Intel's 3945 wireless card. Like many others I've been having problems with networkmanager not seeing my wifi connection from time to time, even refusing to connect to it manually (and even refusing to connect to the wired network!)

I should mention that I have no problem connecting to this network with either networkmanager or wicd. The problem is that when I do connect it is very, very slow. Very rarely it will work but most of the time it fails to load the page in network manager. In wicd it is slightly better however it crashes constantly.

CM10.1 WiFi issues 4 weeks 12 hours ago

For some reason I am unable to connect to my home WiFi network. It acts as if it is about to connect by saying authenticating and then stops and does not connect act all. Then after if I try to connect to the network again it says "Failed to connect to network". I have noticed this has happened to me before when I flashed the Viper ROM so I just went back to stock.

Hey, well my Nexus S's "Power Button" is acting very erratic. I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue, but i was wondering if there was a way to bypass it via software. Perhaps there is a .kl file that can be configured via root-explorer?

I'm currently using WICD, which I switched to after network manager was unable to retain a wireless connection for more than 10 minutes at a time.

Using WICD, my connection has been stable for months, and I've had no problems connecting to my network using WPA2.

Hey guys, i was fed up after i can't connect to wifi using ubuntu. the problem happened after my router is being replaced to a new one because the old one got struck by lightning. good thing i dual-boot my laptop so i can access the internet using Windows 7 now.

i use the default network manager to connect to wifi before, but it all seem to be failed after the replacement of router.

WAS: "Wicd can't obtain IP address of network after upgrade to sid"Edited because I've now discovered that the problem isn't caused by Wicd, but by something in the system after d-u from stable.I'm typing this on a laptop connected to the network in question (which is only WEP anyway, not even WPA) on stable w/ backports, and I haven't had an issue, so I assume s
