I'm using the Madwifi driver with a Netgear WG511T wireless card on Hardy. Quite frequently it will disconnect for a few seconds and then jump right back on the network. Sometimes it's so quick it's not even noticeable. Whenever this happens Networkmanager will dump a couple of these in the logs

Apr 20 23:31:55 P3nguins NetworkManager: <info> Supplicant state changed: 1
As I mentioned before this happens quite often, so Networkmanager is completely flooding my logs with these messages.
This is a WEP encrypted connection if it matters.

Hi futurepilot07,
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? (ISOs are available from cdimage.ubuntu.com)
If it remains an issue, could you also attach a new /var/log/ Xorg.0. log?
Thanks in advance.
The output of lspci -vvnn would also be worth having.
