weak wireless signals

[ianw1974]

I came to this conclusion too :)

on my x86-64 Mandriva I have encountered these lockups that ian mentioned, but they are sporadic and if I wait just some 10 to 15 seconds the system is responding again

 

haven't tested any other x86-64 Linux so far

I'm on x86 (32bit) and it's permanent for me unfortunately. Then the nice big kill switch, and some journal repairing to the filesystem before I was back up and running again.

 

Now, I don't use it, but will try it again sometime when packages have updated. Will give it six months, should be OK then.

so far I haven't encountered them on 32 bit, but lately I'm using mostly 64 bit, which is otherwise rock-solid, the lockup is mostly accompanied by a short loss of my wireless connection but it always reconnects (and as I already said, these lockups are wery few and the system always recovers)

[ianw1974]

I might have to try 64 bit sometime then.

 

I think we kind of hijacked this thread a bit :)

was not intended, it just happened :D

Sometimes we just get too carried away (I know I do) :D
