My wireless connection to my router stops working.

[Larry Vogler]

I am running 2.6.31-15-generic.

I ran your software that obtains data about my machine. I'll assume you have a bunch of information about my machine and my problem.

My problem is that my wireless connection to my router goes down. It comes up, works well for awhile and then goes down. I need to remove the USB adapter and re-insert it to get it to come up and work again. It does come back.

I researched this on google and I am getting rt_ioctl_giwscan. 3(3) messages in dmesg. When the wireless link fails I notice the 3 is replaced with a 1.

I am using a desktop, very close to my router. It seems that the wireless interface breaks when I have stepped away from the computer for awhile. I checked my Power Management Preferences and I put the displays to sleep after 30 minutes but I never put the computer to sleep.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. I have classified this bug as a bug in linux.

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's "Help -> Report a Problem" menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:

apport-collect 492566

This will help us to find and resolve the problem. Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib package from the universe repository. Additionally, when prompted to give apport-collect permissions for Launchpad you will need to give it at least the ability to "Change Non-Private" data as it will be adding information to your bug report. Thanks in advance!

Hi Larry,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 492566

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

The bug is still there. I think I am using the latest version.
