<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hello Everyone,<br><br></div>I have an older Acer Aspire netbook that has a peculiar problem. At some point - it could be as long as 8 hours or as short as 15 minutes - the wireless network drivers develop a hard-block condition and disable the wireless networking until after I reboot.<br>
<br></div>If there is a lot of I/O - it could be network or disk I/O - it happens sooner.<br><br></div>When this occurs, the network statistics widget I have running indicates a tx/rx rate of 4GB/sec.<br><br></div>If I use an external wireless adapter, then the system still flakes out and shows 4GB/sec transfer after a time period... but the adapter is still operational. At least it's operational for about 24 hours before it flakes out.<br>
<br></div>This is either due to hardware flaking out, OR something changed in RHEL 5 to cause this condition. (It started at some point when I was running CentOS 5.) Has anyone seen this before?<br><br></div>-JK<br></div>
