Comment 24 for bug 1091610

Hi!
Thanks for this good response!

In the meantime I removed the network-manager and replaced it with wicd. I
tried to load the wifi and had no problem. However it is hard to tell since
the wifi drop happens only when I most need wifi, like while I'm video
conferencing for a project...

I would be afraid to try the kernel below since I don't know how to
roll-back if it fails to boot, or is just rough riding...

Can you tell me how I would be able to recover if it really fails big time?

Also, I will be away for 10 days from Thursday, so won't be able to do
anything until after Jan 1st. I am very sorry for the delay, I really
appreciate the great job you guys at Canonical are doing!

Thanks,
Bob
