Re: [PLUG] ndiswrapper WPA success: Re: meeting followup: ndiswrapper working with 2.6 Kernel
|
I found a somewhat reliable way to get connected wireless by running a script and some manual commands. It all seems well, but at times, it just stops working. That is it won't start up (has always worked well after connecting).
I go to the wireless router, turn it off, turn it on again, and all is well. Before I turn the router off, I can still scan the SSID I want, so that was still there.
What is changing when I turn it off and on? Is there a simple answer to this?
I've also noticed it happen to other routers, even using windows.
