Bug Description
Since I started using mythbuntu 8.04 I have a very unstable wireless connection.
I have a usb dongle netgear WG111 v2. And it used to work fine.
The wireless connection is activated but may fail when it is used.
If I reconnect it may work for a couple of seconds and then stop working.
In the network manager, however, everything seems normal.
Extra information:
Ubuntu 8.04; Release 8.04
The wireless driver = rtl8187
