Back again My wifi keeps dropping. I have to restart to get it back up, but after a few minutes it drops. I tried the commands you suggested here: viewtopic.php?f=53&t=182555 and got the following result:
fdred60@Linux1 ~ $ for p in /sys/module/rtl8192se/parameters/*; do echo $p; cat $p; done
/sys/module/rtl8192se/parameters/*
cat: /sys/module/rtl8192se/parameters/*: No such file or directory
fdred60@Linux1 ~ $
Any ideas?
Fred60
WIFI drops out about every 5 - 10 minutes

Re: WIFI drops out about every 5 - 10 minutes
Run this diagnostic script in terminal
It should create a file named wireless-info.txt in your home directory. Paste the contents of wireless-info.txt in a post using code tags
Code: Select all
wget -N -t 5 -T 10 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script && chmod +x wireless_script && ./wireless_script
Re: WIFI drops out about every 5 - 10 minutes
I ran this without my USB WIFI adapter plugges in
OK, here are the results:

Re: WIFI drops out about every 5 - 10 minutes
Have you tried a different USB port, as the wifi adapter does not show up at all in lsusb and it should when it is plugged in. Unplug it and wait 5 minutes, plug it back in and wait another 5 minutes then It might show what is going on
Code: Select all
dmesg | grep tail
Re: WIFI drops out about every 5 - 10 minutes
There are 2 runs in the last reply. The first was without the adapter plugged in. Then I edited the reply and ran the command again. I was using th wifi connection for the edited portion. It just dropped the wifi again. I am now using the wired connectionand will run your suggested command.
Re: WIFI drops out about every 5 - 10 minutes
OK, I think I will drop this for now. It may be some problem with the computer that I'm trying Lime out on. I just know I don't have this isue with Windows XP on this computer. For now I'm going to move on to more important issues I am having trying to get lime up and fully functional for my use. If I can figure out how to fix some of the more important issues I am having, I'll install Lime on another computer and see if I still have wifi issues.
Thanks for your help
