Thread: Does the Intel wireless adapter have less issues than the Atheros on a Thinkpad?


hey guys,
have thinkpad z60t atheros wireless adapter. after lots of trial , error i've gotten work using madwifi drivers. whereas before without madwifi drivers lose connection every 5-10 minutes conneciton solid (once connects) , not drop.
1 issue still persists. adapter not automatically connect @ bootup have manually connect (yes have checked 'connect automatically'box), , when takes 10 minutes of trial , error before connects. once pick connection list sit there trying connect, may password prompt(even though configured password in connection options), i'll delete endless characters in password field , enter password again, still hangs there trying connect. go 10 minutes @ least, have delete , recreate network connection, among other things before connects.
'good' thing once connects stays connected good...until turn off laptop, whole ordeal.
know thinkpad came option of intel wireless adapter, , thinking if hold of 1 of , replace atheros adapter, better off or still have same issues?.
way, connection 'hidden' connection, thought might issue because hidden, tried connect connection broadcast ssid same thing happened...just hangs there trying connect...so guess not matter of connection type. if boot windowz same laptop, card connects right away not card issue far being bad.
guess sum up, i'm trying see of have thinkpads intel adapter opposed atheros , see how has worked you?
thanks!!
