| dragon2 | is anyone aware of driver issues with wifi card on macbooks? | 19:46 |
| dragon2 | I can`t remember what type it is | 19:47 |
| dragon2 | I have this problem with disconnecting, the signal is good | 19:47 |
| dragon2 | i didn`t have wireless until I tagged off for propriotary drivers | 19:48 |
| wxl | dragon2: there's all sorts of problematic driver issues for wifi. the solution depends on the details. either way, the solution is not specific to lubuntu. | 19:50 |
| dragon2 | no, I guess it is debian or ubuntu in general, or the copyright developers | 19:55 |
| dragon2 | I just know there were wifi issues with macs years ago, and it took ages before they corrected it with upgrades | 19:56 |
| dragon2 | I doesn`t have to be driver or even hardware related, could be other things | 19:57 |
| wxl | it's not | 20:03 |
| wxl | it's either the wrong driver, a conflict with another driver, the way the driver is configured | 20:04 |
| wxl | i've seen lots of cases with random and frequent disconnections have to do with power management being turned on | 20:05 |
| wxl | how to deal with that differs depending on the driver | 20:05 |
| genii | Probably one of those problemmatic Broadcom ones | 20:11 |
| wxl | my experience with old ppc macs suggest that those broadcom chips are pretty reliable | 20:16 |
| wxl | i've seen it more with realtek especially | 20:16 |
| wxl | but who knows what broadcom is up to in more recent times | 20:16 |
| genii | Also the ones where the mini-pci/pcie slot on the laptop are actually some thing on the USB cause headaches when the computer decides to do USB power saving things | 20:27 |
| wxl | ohhh that's fun | 20:29 |
