[19:46] <dragon2> is anyone aware of driver issues with wifi card on macbooks?
[19:47] <dragon2> I can`t remember what type it is
[19:47] <dragon2> I have this problem with disconnecting, the signal is good
[19:48] <dragon2> i didn`t have wireless until I tagged off for propriotary drivers
[19:50] <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.
[19:55] <dragon2> no, I guess it is debian or ubuntu in general, or the copyright developers
[19:56] <dragon2> I just know there were wifi issues with macs years ago, and it took ages before they corrected it with upgrades
[19:57] <dragon2> I doesn`t have to be driver or even hardware related, could be other things
[20:03] <wxl> it's not
[20:04] <wxl> it's either the wrong driver, a conflict with another driver, the way the driver is configured
[20:05] <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
[20:11] <genii> Probably one of those problemmatic Broadcom ones
[20:16] <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
[20:27] <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
[20:29] <wxl> ohhh that's fun
[23:48] <wxl> cyborgzeta[m]: welcome :)
