If anyone wants to try this, I have a script which might help. It can be
downloaded from http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/wifi-debug. After
downloading you need to do the following in a terminal after changing to
the directory where you donwloaded the file:

  sudo apt-get install iw tshark
  chmod +x wifi-debug
  sudo ./wifi-debug -p

Wait for the problem to occur, then press Ctrl-C and wait for the script
to finish. After it completes you will have a file named
wifi-debug-files.tar.gz with the requested data.

Note that this file will be large (potentially very large if it runs for
a long time) and may contain some private information, though WPA/WEP
keys should not be present and data sent on an encrypted network will be
encrypted. However you still may want to share the file in a less public
way, e.g. upload it to dropbox or similar and send Emmanuel or me a
link.

And if anyone has the know-how to capture a sniff using a monitor
interface on a separate machine, that would be preferable to the method
used in the script.

Thanks!
