Comment 19 for bug 356807

I agree with Martijn and am also seeing this on my Eee PC 1000HA with RaLink RT2860 wireless using WPA2 to my router.

Interestingly, if my wireless connectivity is poor (ie. < approx 65%) I experience the 'lockups' and internet pauses with the connectivity regulsarly fluctuating between 30% and 80% with losses every ~2mins of network/internet connectivity. If I then move closer to my wireless router and have excellent (~95% + connectivity) then I still get the dmesg messages, but not the regular fluctuations in connectivity strength and network/internet loss.

It's as though the rt2860 drivers drops the connection whenever the strength drops below 60%, if only momentarily, and then establishes a new connection.
