I'm using debian lenny with the whiite isobel kernel, and while my wireless connects fine, it seems to progressively die over the course of about 2-5 minutes. When i first boot it up, it works fine. I can ssh in and it works normally, with no significant delay. But after a couple of minutes, ssh starts getting laggy (i type something and it takes a few seconds to respond) before eventually freezing altogether. At this point it stops responding to pings too. This happened when it was literally a metre away for the access point. Oddly enough, when i moved it about 15 metres away, it worked for longer before the wireless locked up, but it still happened eventually. I thought it could be some sort of memory issue, with the wii only having 64MB RAM, so I plugged a flash drive into the usb port with a swap partition and swapon'ed it. Didn't help though. Wifi's fairly critical to my application, since I was hoping to plug a hard drive into the USB port and use it as a NAS sort of thing. Has anyone else had this problem? Or know where I can start with resolving it? Thanks for your time, and for all the great work the developers have done so far with porting linux to this console :) --0016e6586166e65d510488e65294 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi there, I've been having some really odd problems with the wifi on my= wii.
