[ale] CentOS 6.6 Kernels? ssh flaky

[Bob Toxen]

I'm finding ssh over wireless to be flaky over Wifi (with WPA) on
CentOS 6.6.  If I receive a burst of data, there's a 50% change that the
connection drops.  I've tried with both the built-in Wifi (Thinkbad T41)
or a USB Wifi (don't remember the brand).

Slackware had no such problem until I botched the Wifi configuration.

Any ideas?

THANKS!

If you do compile your own you have to remember you did that so if you did later do a ???yum update??? you would know to compile the newer kernel source with the same drivers added.
