[regression] [lucid] Internet disconnects itself seemingly at random, unable to reconnect

[Mads Peter Rommedahl]

My internet has worked flawlessly for years with Ubuntu with no connection problems whatsoever.

In the last couple of weeks (I'm not sure exactly when it started), I have been starting to lose the connection every now and then.

What happens:
I'm browsing the internet, when suddenly NetworkManager tells me that I've lost connection. It attempts to reconnect, but after attempting reconnect for approx. 30-40 seconds, it suddenly pops up and asks me to check if the network key I've entered is correct (which it is). If I re-enter it, it retries to connect, but again returns and asks me to enter network key. It keeps repeating this cycle until it just gives up and disconnects.

If I reboot the computer everything works fine again

lspci states that my adapter is '05:01.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2800 802.11n PCI'

Hi Mads,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ . If the issue remains, please 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 610608

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.
