Problem came and went.

[LinuxNoob]

I was going to just forget about this as everything seems to be working fine now and has been for a couple of days now.

This began on Feb 17ish and the wifi on my Aspire One intel atom N450 1.66 was disconnecting and then later reconnecting all night. I thought to myself wtf not this thing again.

I went to Google and found a few solved solution but nothing was working. As a matter of fact it only was a problem when downloading files. The wifi would quit and come back to set the download to fail.

I was going to make a post here on the 18 but it seemed to of fixed what ever was the problem.

The reason why I'm posting this now is I'm wondering if upstream they may have made a mistake and during one of my updates I may have downloaded something only to have it get fixed on a later update. I have not done anything since and it has been corrected.

Anyone else found this happening to their computer? Has something like this ever happen before?

Confused....

Mine on my AAO Aspire was a hardware problem. When I replaced the wifi card inside with a intel wireless n wifi card. My problem went away. This was a few years ago and now the netbook belongs to my father-in-law. Who I gave it to.

My problem was the card was over heating and dropping out during downloads. Then when cooled down. It would start working again. I ran a wireless usb and turned off internal wireless using bios until I found a compatible intel internal wifi card to fix my problem.

Entirely possible to be a random bug. or even power issues (so very common). There has been recent kernel updates which may have also helped. But it's great the issue went away in any case.

rokytnji you mentioned that it was heating up and that reminded me of something I was playing around Boinc and the processors been running at 90% for about a day straight but according to the xfce plugin for sensors it showed the temp never reached over 60 deg. However I wonder if that could have set it off. hmmm

Shaggy yes it is nice to have problems go

Well I was just wondering if anyone else was getting that problem I guess it could have been a heat prob. Maybe I'll try and recreate the same situation and see if it does it again.

Thanks for the reply guys.

Ok it's been a few days now that I have had Boinc ( https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ ) running with the cpu at 60 degrees and nothing. The wifi never glitched once.

I suspect it was something in a repository as the only thing that I changed was the update/upgrade. I performed. All the other suggestions I found googling that I tried at the time of the problem didn't work.

So heat was not the issue here at all.
