Bug Description
When using Mint 7 Main edition, regardless of the version. Both 32 and 64bit versions I experience the following problem. After installing and running the system, between 5 and 12 hours I start to get constant drops in my wireless connection. The drops are immedialtely reconnected. I am using the Broadcom BCM 4322 chipset and running the STA driver. I have done a little testing my self in order to try and reporduce the problem and have reinstalled Mint 7 both 32bit and 64bit editions several times and this always happens. I have also tried the KDE versions and this problem does not occur there. The problem is also not specific to the Network Manager as I have tried using WICD and still experience the problem. Also the problem does not happen when using Mint 6.
