Comment 7 for bug 379096

I have an Asus EEEpc 1000HE running a new install of 9.10 Netbook Remix. I'd had serious wireless problems where I'd suspend the laptop, then after resume I'd have internet for 30s then lose all connection with my router. The router is a WRT160N, and I'm connecting via 820.11n using WPA2 Personal. I was told to try linux-backports-modules-karmic, and this fixed the suspend problem, but I still have flaky connectivity.

dmesg reports:
wlan0: direct probe responded

I'm not telling the wireless card to turn off. When I notice the connection getting flaky and test with ping, I come up with the router is not found.

I have a second 1000HE available with identical internals that runs Windows XP only. Under Windows, the card is fairly stable. The problem on this machine is new as of 9.10, I have a 9.04 wubi install of xubuntu and that was at least as stable as Windows for wireless performance.
