Bug Description
My problem is very similar to Broadcom STA Wireless driver for bcm4322 silently disconnects frequently with a few key differences.
https:/
The first key difference is it does not happen silently. I am told when it happens. The second key difference is it only happens on certain networks. I am usually fine except when I use a few particular networks. I get knocked off the network very frequently and it is quite annoying. I have confirmed with the admins there is nothing on wrong on their end. They are very confident that it has something to do with my wireless driver. My connection also does not reconnect unless I do it myself.
I am using Linux Mint 9 Isadora on a dell laditude d520. Linux Mint uses the same repository as Ubuntu.
This is the package that I am using.
