benrothwell Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Right, running the current spec iAtkos 10.5.5 with 9.2 Kernel P5L 1394 ASUS Motherboard P4 830D Processor GMA 950 Onboard VGA Fujitsu SATA Hard Drive 3gb Ram (3 Channels x 1gb) SpeedCom USB Wifi stick (identifies as Zydas 1211 Rev A chipset) Operates fine under normal load, however, when using UTorrent or iPlayer Desktop Edition (a UK service similar to Hulu) the connection cuts out after a short period. The ZyDAS WLAN program shows the connection is still up - but the light on the USB stick remains a solid colour (as opposed to flashing when it is working) - uTorrent freezes and internet connectivity is gone. Have tried: 1) cpus=1 2) Setting MTU in System Preferences to 1000 on Full-Duplex Limiting the speed of uTorrent does seem to extend the length of uptime - if I set at say 50kbps then the length of time before it crashes is a lot longer (in terms of multiple hours) than say if it is downloading at 600kbps (10minutes max) Anyone got any ideas? Have heard about replacing IONetworking.kext from an earlier version - any ideas if this would work - and where Id go about getting it without getting a complete 10.4.8 distro Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/147084-wireless-connection-problem-freezing-and-disconnection/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
benrothwell Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Right, have now limited connection to 100kbp/s download and 10kbp/s download, and the connection has been live for 18 hours now. It seems that there is a throughput level that kills the connection - does this give anyone more ideas as to what is causing it?
