Comment 106 for bug 548992

  This bug also affects me (reason=3 in syslog), and I can confirm that switching form DHCP to manual IP assignment (on the same router/network!) prevents disconnection. However the following still happens:

  If I disconnect in software for some other reason (mostly when I lot out or log in back, or sometimes when I need to switch off the wifi-router for some reason), I need to manually switch off the wireless (I usually use the "hardware switch" on my sony vaio) before I can connect back. Otherwise network manager icon just keeps suggesting that it is connecting, and it never gets form (that is, I keep see that rotating icon, but never gets to the signal icon).

PS: I am using Natty. Do I have to file a separate bug report or this one does the job?
