Hi,

My N9 has some issues keeping wireless connection. It happens at home with a Linksys WAP54G or in the office (we've a Zyxel there, don't know which one). Other devices like my dell laptop have no issue. Home and Offie are using WPA2.

Symptoms: after a while, even if the Wifi symbol is displayed, and that the configuration panel says I'm connected, none of the applications can access to the Internet. Twitter feeds on the notification area are blocked, Twitter app can't connect, browser can't display requested pages, calendar sync displays "can't connect to google" in the notification area.

Simply turn internet connection off and on again solves the issue. But that's a bit odd.

Is it a known issue ? I'd like to fill a bug into the harmattan bugzilla, but I've no idea on how to log or give debug hints.

On the other hand, I wanted to run a script that would turn wlan off and on every quarter or so, to work around the problem, but I can't find how to do it. I tried ("user" user or devel-su) if-down wlan0, ifconfig wlan0 down, but this does not work - or it seems so.

Any hint would be greatly appreciated !
