Ultimate Edition Forum

I can connect for anywhere from a minute or two, to maybe 20 minutes, then it drops:

Hello:

Thanks for the welcome!
Ultimate Edition is great so far - It will be my "if you used to use Windows - try Ultimate Edition" when people ask me ablut linux.

I do not have anything asus-laptop except:
locate asus-laptop
/lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/asus-laptop.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.31-15-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/asus-laptop.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.31-20-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/asus-laptop.ko

I did not mention: This is a HP Pavilion dm3-1039wm 13" Laptop

Hi w8wca.

First we happy to have you here

So here is 2 things for you to do on your issue.
about the command it is OK - just change the the command to:

There you go:

Code: Select all

sudo su
enter your password
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/HP-laptop/bluetooth
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/HP-laptop/wlan

Now First I will go for the Kernel cleaning as you can see in my post here:

viewtopic.php?f=66&t=4420

After you will lose the old Kernel and the packages,
Then go for the command and try it again please.
And let us know if you gut it to work.

Thanks for the Brew!

I ran the cleanup script.

some info:
ls -al /sys/devices/platform/

No dir like the ones you mentioned

w8wca,

Did you have install the packages of ndiswrapper from synaptic?

No, I am not using ndiswrapper

I can go that route If I can't get this going

It is just I did not use it in Ubuntu 9.10 on this same laptop

i have been connected for 25 minutes now.

but signal looks weak

w8wca

If I get you right,you do not have wire connection?
here is the package for you to install on your machine.



After installing the packages make restart to your machine.
then see if you gut the fix for the card.

First off - Thanks Mate! & GN

I am connected now by wifi and I can connect by Cat 5 lan also.

OK I can try ndiswrapper, but I would need to grab windows Drivers also

Just an update: (Updated again 11 - Mar. 2010 12:26z

Thank you for the help.

I have not installed the tarball yet (Or by apt-get or synaptic)

After I ran your clean up script and re booted, I managed to stay connected over night !

I stayed on IRC overnight and did not drop, so it looks like the cleanup script fixed it.

(Maybe mixed up kernel modules? not sure, that is an area I do not know a lot about)
