WiFi dropping out
Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2013 2:53 pm
Hi folks,
So I trying to get over to linux as main OS (which is hard, but I'll do my best
). Unfortunately, I'm having a problem what really bothers me. It's this:
When I'm pushing my WiFi USB adapter to it's limits (I guess), it drops the signal after a while. I can't even resolve a host anymore. But here is the point: if I'm downloading a file at a speed higher then 800kb/s, it drops the signal already after a while. Same story for opening multiple tabs at the same time, or listening to internet-radio and browsing. And that bothers me a lot, 'cause I'm often downloading and multitasking. And I don't have that problem in Windows.
I didn't install any drivers, it "worked" out of the box. Any ideas for fixing this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service smbd reload
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the reload(8) utility, e.g. reload smbd
