Wireless connection drops when downloading files (Corrected Post) Jan 22nd 2013, 14:12 I saw there was another thread on this but with out a solution and I didn't want to piggyback on it. Not sure if my issue is 100% the same. My wireless connection drops when I try to download a file (ie, google chrome). Once it drops however, it will not reconnect until i reboot. I am using a Dell Inspiron mini 12 on openSUSE 11.4 with the following adapter: Code: 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) 03:00.0 0280: 14e4:4315 (rev 01) dmesg says the following about this card: Code: [ 9.972877] b43-pci-bridge 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 [ 9.972907] b43-pci-bridge 0000:03:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 10.628962] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4312 WLAN found (core revision 15) [ 10.939346] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PMLS, Firmware-ID: FW13 ] [ 38.786147] b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 478.104 (2008-07-01 00:50:23) it also says this right after, not sure if this has anything to do with anything: Code: [ 10.631177] dell-laptop: Blacklisted hardware detected - not enabling rfkill from iwconfig: SUSE Paste
