I just bought a new notebook (Toshiba Satellite A305 - 6926C - Vista Home Premium 64 bit) which has an intel 5100 agn wifi card. My venerable WRT54GL has SVN 11296 installed and is working fine (I have another notebook).
My problem is that my brand new laptop drops the connection after a while (5 - 10 minutes). This has never happened to me before. Googling about the card, it seems to have some problems with linksys routers, but I don't know if this apoplies to dd-wrt as well.
From the release notes of wifi driver (version 12.4.0.21.1):
"Linksys* Access Point Association Timeout
After the association flow completes, the adapter stays awake (as in CAM mode) for 10 seconds, and then acts according to the PowerIndex (PI) regkey. PI should not be change during this period. The association timeout is 10 seconds. Using the Linksys access point, association occurs every 60 seconds, resulting in deauthentication and disconnection from the Linkysys access point. "
Can anybody help me?

Is it intel proset? If so it, is a problem. Do a search on "proset" on the forum. _________________ SIG:

Thanks Murrkf. My other laptop uses Proset + an intel 4965AG wifi card without issues. Anyway I'll give it a try when I get back home. How do I let windows manage the connection in Vista? I know it looks like a dumb question, but I'm new to Vista and I find it really weird...
In the meantime, any other suggestions so I can have a lot of fun in the afternoon?

I don't know....There are OSs and then there of P-OSs (Pieces of Shite)...vista is in the P-OS and I have never used it. I rarely use windows at all. I do know that some found disabling ipv6 to be helpful with vista, sometimes. _________________ SIG:
