Wireless keeps disconnecting on HP G7000

Asked by Camilla Heggem

Hi. I've been having this problem for a good while now, and I would really love to find a solution to this, as it is very inconvenient for me.

Sometimes, at random, the wireless connection disconnects, and even though I can see the list of available networks, using the right password and turn off and on the wireless card, it refuses to reconnect. I need to restart the computer to make it reconnect.

It usually happens often when it first starts. For example, today and yesterday evening, it has been turning off after a very short time every time I restart the computer.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx, and have never installed any form of wireless manager. Just the one that came with 10.04. I'm using a HP G7000 laptop.

Hi,

Please first connect your network card to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).

In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure, RIGHT AFTER the disconnect issue occurs in the near future:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->Terminal"

Step 2: Please copy-paste the following command from the https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu website in Firefox into the Linux Terminal. Do NOT copy-paste from the Email message into the Terminal, as that will only copy PART of the command. The command STARTS with the word sudo and ENDS with the word restart. So please copy-paste the ENTIRE command below from Firefox into a Terminal, press <enter>, then enter password when sudo asks for password, then press enter again.

Tip: If you have a wheel mouse or 3 button mouse you do not need to type commands into the Terminal. Highlight the command written on the page. Move your cursor anywhere in the Terminal and press the wheel or middle button. Automatic Copy and paste! No spelling mistakes! No Typos! No other errors!

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; sudo lshw -short; uname -a; dmesg | egrep 'acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|CX|eth|ipw|irmware|isl|lbtf|ndiswrapper|NPE|ound|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|witch|wl'; iwconfig; grep b43 /etc/modprobe.d/*; grep wl /etc/modprobe.d/*; sudo hwinfo --netcard ; sudo lsmod; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output) on this thread. The troubleshooters here need to see the full Terminal output from running the above command RIGHT AFTER the wireless disconnect issue occurs.

Regards,

Mark

I wasn't sure where I should stop copy/pasting, so here's the whole thing, with installation and all.

Your Terminal output shows the following serious issues:

1)

Hit http://archive.canonical.com karmic Release.gpg
Ign http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ karmic/partner Translation-en_US
Get:1 http://security.ubuntu.com lucid-security Release.gpg [189B]
Ign http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Translation-en_US
Ign http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/restricted Translation-en_US
Ign http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/universe Translation-en_US
Ign http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/multiverse Translation-en_US
Hit http://archive.canonical.com karmic Release

So your /etc/apt/sources.list file contains a mix of karmic and lucid repositories. This will cause serious problems. Repositories from different releases of Ubuntu should NEVER be mixed in the /etc/apt/sources.list file.

2) The following error keeps occurring:

wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:22:07:05:f2:84 by local choice (reason=3)

This is probably due to the fact that your wireless driver (b43 driver) is not working correctly. I think this is due to issue 3 -> 2 different wireless drivers are active at the same time on your PC (b43 driver and ndiswrapper driver)

3) both b43 and ndiswrapper drivers are active at the same time, which will cause disconnects and instability

The following Terminal output confirms this:

Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PL, Firmware-ID: FW13 ]

[ 23.121678] ndiswrapper version 1.55 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)

b43 163523 0

ndiswrapper 184677 0

/etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper:alias wlan0 ndiswrapper

There are too many configuration problems on your PC.

To solve it, I recommend performing a backup of all your personal data. Then perform a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 from a LiveCD session, overwriting the contents of the / (root) partition, but not overwriting the /home partition.

AFTER performing a clean install, only the following procedure is required to get wireless working:

Do NOT install ndiswrapper after the clean install, as it will cause conflicts with the b43 wireless driver.

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->Terminal"

Step 2: Please copy-paste the following 2 commands into the Linux Terminal. Press <enter> after each command.

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter

Step 3: Reboot and retest wireless.

Can you help with this problem?
