Bug Description

Running lucid with 2.6.32-23 and backports installed, tried 2.6.34 as well,

li Edit (213.4 KiB, text/plain)

Latest upgrade,
wlan still dies on any onging activity such as youtube, spotify or downloading files.
Regular browsing works ok.

Tried two different routers, same problem. WPA2.

Now suspend to ram crashes and requires cold boot.

I'll be leaving 10.04 soon for better luck with 10.10.
