Comment 44 for bug 182716

Ok, so, another confirm, this time with a 4311 rev 2 (Worked fine under bcm43xx, worked fine under older (2.6.24-5 and 2.6.24-8) kernels.

Card seems to drop connection every 20 minutes or so (actually deassociates from Access point (despite being less than 15 feet away, open air)). This reults in NetworkManager showing the card disconnected (and really annoying me).

I installed the card with b43-fwcutter autoinstalling the firmware

I'll get a dmesg up soon, but includes quite a few lines (1800), many including reassociate and deassociate(reason 3).
