Package: firmware-iwlwifi
Version: 0.27
Severity: important
After losing the wireless connection for whatever reason, i'm unable to
reconnect to it and actually acess the internet. It reconnects to the router by
all traffict just dies and it's unable to do anything. trying a ping google.com
-c 4 reports that the host is unknown even though i'm supposedly connected to
the network.
This issue has been in it since a couple months back but it's just now that i'm
able to say with certainty that it's the package that is the problem. It's
either that or whatever package tells the OS to start routing through my
wireless adapter isn't doing its job. Since ethernet connections still work
just fine.
