Bug Description
Running Gutsy, everything as up-to-date as they can be from repos. Intel 4965AGN chipset wireless card in Dell E1505 (Not ubuntu native 1505).
After install, the OS identifies the chipset fine and uses the iwlwifi and iwl4965 driver. I can connect to the AP just fine in G mode, but after a seemingly random interval, the connection dies. Gnome networking manager shows everything is still working fine and the connection is still up, but I lose complete connectivity. When I CAN connect, speeds are pretty slow downloading files, I noticed this when doing an apt-get update and upgrade. Browsing seems fine, but that isn't a good indicator of speeds. This happens on multiple access points of multiple brands.
The iwlwifi driver is out of date in the current build of Gutsy, is there any possibility of going to the latest version of 1.1.17?

This issue is evident in both 32-bit and AMD-64-bit versions of the OS, as I had originally thought it was a bug in the 64-bit version so I installed the 32-bit version with the same results.
