I don't know if my problem is in fact the same with the other thread.
RTL8188CE / RTL8192CE confusion & loss of connection
Similarly my internet on my laptop thinkpad E420 lost connection randomly. Sometimes it works one hour without problem. Sometimes it dies immediately after boot. Sometimes the connection is not lost but my ping to gateway could be 30000ms. When this happens I feel my router is also messed up coz my other devices (wifi) at home have connection problems too by that time. I then need to restart the router. I hope this is coincidence coz I'm really not sure if it was interfering my router.
The dual booted windows have no connection problem. My other portable opensuse has no problem running on my laptop, but I don't use it on my laptop too much honestly.
My guess is that it's the ATI graphic driver conflicting with the wireless connection, because that's pretty much the only difference between the suse installed on my laptop and the one installed on my portable drive, as the suse installed on my portable drive has no graphic drivers installed.
I'm still a noob, so if you have any instruction please be a little clear. Thanks.
