Current Kubuntu installation on Panasonic CF-51 Centrino Toughbook.
Installation was flawless and operation as very stable.
However, chronic problem with wifi (2200) configuration.
The /etc/network/interfaces file is configured with ANY as the wifi essid so
usually a wireless connection is estabished.
Also, kWifiManager is ineffective in managing the wireless connections.
Utilizing the console, I can change connections via ifdown <iface>, iwconfig
<iface> essid <essid> key off | <XXXX-XXXX-XX> and ifup <iface>.
This works when switching from an active connection to active connection.
The problem is when the connection drops off or an inactive essid is selected.
I am unable to restore any connection without rebooting. One would think that
iwconfig <iface> essid <essid> key off | <XXXX-XXXX-XX> and ifup <iface>
would restore a connection as it does when switching from an active
connection to an active connection but it does not. Again, only rebooting
will reestablish wifi connectivity.
Help please.
