There are a few, including the keymaps/symbl set from chrubuntu.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('JudgeGregg', '
')EDIT 2: It works !
Just followed the guidelines on
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WPA_Supplicant
and I'm back online.


Which guidelines specifically? Are you still using the the old wpa_supplicant 1.x? After quite a bit of fiddling around, I have yet to find a working kernel that will play nice with wpa_suplicant 2.0 (the current version) and WPA2. That's a pretty severe bug...

I am actually not seeing this bug, per se, in that it drops connection. I have laggy spots that don't make sense, but I have those in ChromeOS and in ALARM. I have our kernel from the repo installed, and it behaves rather identically.

I tried to solve the glibc/filesystem problem, but i'm kinda stuck in a deadlock...

So far, i've tried the following:

- updating all packages possible with ignoring glibc and filesystem.

When i want to try to update filesystem pacman tells me:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
/bin exists in filesystem
/sbin exists in filesystem
/usr/sbin exists in filesystem
')

So i moved everything which was in it to /usr/bin and deleted the folders. Everything still worked, even without the symlinks to /usr/bin.

When i want to update filesystem now, pacman tells me:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
/lib exists in filesystem
')

But lib is already just a symlink to /usr/lib... :?:

I've tried lots of things to bypass it. Deleting /lib wasn't a good idea, because then, nothing worked anymore. Forcing the filesystem to install even with /lib worked, but when i tried to install glibc afterwards, thi installation succeeds but i get the following error message:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
/usr/bin/pacman: no such file or directory
')

And this is for every executable in there.


Any ideas?

Greetings,
Markus

So the steps in the news article did nothing for you?

Well... Which one?

Thank you, i guess i got it. Since this is a fresh installation, there aren't any aur packages. But i indeed ignored the wpa supplicant and libnl. When i did this all the first time, i forgot to ignore them and this was the only time it worked for me... Well, lets hope that i can connect to the wifi afterwards... I guess this wpa bug is still alive?

I'm running the kernel from linux-chromebook too, but it doesn't seem to help. Could it be the firmware?

And it's not that the wifi drops out, it just totally fails to connect to a WPA2 network using wpa_supplicant (and by extension netcfg, NetworkManager, WICD, etc). It sees the correct BSSIDs when it scans, it just fails to connect in the first place.

And the laggy spots may be flash I/O related, as some SD cards I've tried will just have random write bottlenecks. The "professional" SD cards with fast write speeds work much better.

No, I have no issues connecting to my home WPA2 802.11n 2.4GHz network. Netcfg, passphrase, and all.

The lag for me is present on every connection I have tired, in ChromeOS or ALARM.
