Hello Just recently upgraded to 8.1 and installed the 'urtw' driver for my Netgear WG111v3 USB WLAN card. All fine, systems boots, WLAN card gets IP address, network runs. And then suddenly network connection breaks down. And never recovers. Only reboot helps. Apparently the WLAN connection moves from 'status: associated' to 'status: no carrier' and stays stuck there. Is there any way to prevent this? (WLAN signal is OK, put the box next to the AP to test.) Or, can you recommend a PCI/PCIe card that is proven to work reliably? Regards Balazs --- This is how it starts: nfe0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8010b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,TSO4,LINKSTATE> ether 00:26:18:91:13:bc media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM> inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 nd6 options=3<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV> urtw0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290 ether 00:1b:2f:ce:e2:72 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g status: associated wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:1b:2f:ce:e2:72 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g status: associated ssid "Le Quack" channel 6 (2437 MHz 11g) bssid 00:1e:2a:5e:25:70 country US authmode WPA2/802.11i privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF TKIP 3:128-bit txpower 0 bmiss 7 scanvalid 450 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi 7 roam:rate 5 protmode CTS roaming MANUAL And this is how it gets broken and never recovers: nfe0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8010b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,TSO4,LINKSTATE> ether 00:26:18:91:13:bc media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM> inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 nd6 options=3<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV> urtw0: flags=8c43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,OACTIVE,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290 ether 00:1b:2f:ce:e2:72 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g status: associated wlan0: flags=8c43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,OACTIVE,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:1b:2f:ce:e2:72 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect) status: no carrier ssid "Le Quack" channel 6 (2437 MHz 11g) country US authmode WPA2/802.11i privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF txpower 0 bmiss 7 scanvalid 450 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi 7 roam:rate 5 protmode CTS roaming MANUAL
