Lemur wireless and general instability
Hello all,
I have been experiencing a wireless problem with my Lemur (lemu2) for a while now. This has happened before, but at the time the System76 person told me that it was a regular problem and that I should consider upgrading my wireless card. While I did not like that idea, the problem soon went away and so I didn't worry about it. The problem is now back with a vengeance.
When I click on the nm-applet icon to see the various networks, several of the networks, instead of being listed as "Network", are listed as various options "Network, Network-1, Network-2..." While this is not the core of the problem, I am describing it in hopes that it may be recognized. The main problem is that when the networks are displayed in this manner, my wireless connection is unstable at best. The average situation is that I am connected and it is working fine, and then I lose all connectivity, and have to restart my laptop in order to be able to connect to a network successfully. Most recently, my laptop has also started freezing when this happens. It is a full-system lockup, and I am not able to escape it via ctrl+alt+f1 or any other method.
In addition, several times a "Ubuntu has experienced an error" pop-up appears, but it is always related to the e-mail notification client (as far as I can tell) and not to the wireless.
If anyone has any ideas as to what is causing these problems or how to solve the problem, please let me know. I have tried reinstalling NetworkManager, using wicd instead, and booting into different kernels and none of it has solved the problem.
Many thanks,
M4rotku
