I'm using Hardy Heron alpha 5 on Toshiba Satellite 1130-S155 with SMC2632w (atmel chip) pcmcia V3 card.

When I try to use update manager the connection with ap is lost. I've noticed that the wireless signal drops to 0% and then the connection is broken.

Sometimes, browsing the web, it has the same behavior but little time after it restores and goes on.

Using iwconfig i got:

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

Using sudo lspci | grep Atmel (driver for my card) i got:

I couldn't make it work with gutsy.
