Disable either ANI or encryption (or set encryption to WEP) and the link remains stable. I've tried everything from 5 minutes to 24 hours for group key renewal, the link ONLY drops when the keys get renewed when ANI is enabled. What leas me to believe this is the fact that group key renewal was ALWAYS occuring when ANI triggers. I think ANI thinks group key renewal is noise. WEP works fine with it (but being already broken, stay away from it!).

I'd make a patch to dynamically enable/disable ANI on a case by case basis, but I have very little knowledge of the inner workings of wireless drivers.Īfter 5 days of capturing packets and messing with different settings on my router and wireless card (Now an atheros card so I can experiment with ANI on both ends), I believe I've discovered the problem: WPA/WPA2 and ANI don't mix. I moved the tests down the road a few miles at a friend's house, the noise floor was -80dbm, ANI caused 2 routers to drop connections (maybe ANI is too aggressive with settings on some routers?), while the other showed the same results with or without ANI.īeing the network admin at the apartments, I can change the noise floor a little with the main network by means of setting it's txpower since it has a rubbish amplifier (set it too high = insane noise floor, lower it = barely any noise) The noise floor here is -58dbm, txpower was SNR is 16 throughout the tests (adjusted TX power at client to ensure SNR of 16), with ANI, link quality was 48/70, without ANI, it was only 11/70. Turn ANI off, all 3 routers dropped clients when in a high interference environment, but when in a low interference environment, all 3 routers held connections.īased on my limited testing, I'm starting to think ANI should be enabled when interference is fairly high, but disabled at other times. Over the past 2 months, I've experimented with ANI on 3 different routers, in a high interference environment, ANI helped all 3, in a low interference environment, ANI caused 2 routers to drop clients, the remaining router had no problems with ANI being enabled.

Once you have the firmware loader in place (or if you aren't sure and you just want to try things to see if it works), you need to install the firmware file into the appropriate location.Not sure if this is the right place for this, if not, please move it

The steps for installing and configuring this are very distribution specific and the tools differ, but distributions have this enabled.

In addition to having the firmware_class support in your kernel, you must also have a working userspace infrastructure configured. You can determine if your kernel currently has firmware loader support by looking for the When you configure the kernel, you can find this option in the following location:

#Why does intell centrino wireless n 2230 drop off driver#

In order to function correctly the driver requires this to be enabled in your kernel. More information can be found under in the Documentation/firmware_class/README file in the kernel source. The driver loads the firmware using the kernel's firmware_class infrastructure. If that doesn't work, or you need newer firmware, read on.? Note that many distributions ship the firmware, you could install the “linux-firmware” package or similar. The firmware necessary to support the devices is distributed separately under the firmware license.
