2009-05-08 16:33:17 Carsten Agger description I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Remix on an Acer Aspire One. This is the wireless card as indicated by lspci: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) I've installed linux-backports-modules-jaunty, and after booting, it connects to the network without any problems. However, after an unpredictable amount of time - may vary between a couple of hours and as little as five minutes - connection is lost, and the Network Applet shows the "reconnecting" animation. However, the Network Manager *will not* reconnect to any wireless network without rebooting. Desired behaviour: Wireless vard should not lose the connection, AND if it loses the connection, it should be possible to reconnect without rebooting.
