Bug Description
Tested with Intrepid Ibex 8.10 final version (was first with alpha5 and alpha6)
Both with wired and unwired connections I get disconnected in some minutes (especially if the computer is idling or when I download a big file).
Hardware info: The output of lspci is attached. The laptop model is Clevo MobiNote, M720R T8300 with mostly intel components inside.
It should be mentioned that these disconnections also happen with the same laptop in ubuntu 8.04. They also happen with or without using the NetworkManager.
The output of dmesg will also be posted.
Please let me know if I could try something and put the result here.
Update: I have also noticed that the time is "freezing" when the computer is idling. When I get back to the computer the clock is starting again, but the time is not correct (it gets correct after a while when the ntp updates it)
Another update: Continuously pinging a host does not help to keep the connection alive (as having an instance of Rhythmbox does).

Small update: After a longer testing time with alpha5 I must say it works alot better with the iwlagn driver than with the iwl4965 driver in 8.04. However, the disconnections still occur after some idling time.
