Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
I'd ordered a brand new Dell XPS M1330 with Ubuntu from Dell. Everything is working just fine except I have intermittant wireless problems when the machine suspends and resumes back. I read a lot of threads on Ubuntu site and I am wondering why this is not solved. I am a technical guy with the knowledge of how to fidddle around with the networking in Linux but this computer is for my wife who hates it already because of this problem.
I made sure the hibernate is not an option but suspend/resume is something happens when she is done using the computer and closes the lid.
I really like to see a good fix available from the team for this known problem.
Thank you

Hi SL,
I see you are running the Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 version of Ubuntu. We're actually about a week away from releasing the latest Hardy Heron 8.04. Would you be interested in giving this newer release a test? It will have an updated version of the kernel and also also uses the iwlwifi drivers. So in your case it will use the iwl3945 driver as the ipw3945 is now deprecated and development efforts have shifted to the iwlwifi project. See the following for more info: http:// ipw3945. sourceforge. net/ . You can download the latest daily image of the Hardy Heron Beta release at http:// cdimage. ubuntu. com/daily- live/current/ . You should be able to test by running the LiveCD. Version 1.2.0 of iwlwifi will be used by default. However, it that still proves to be buggy the 'linux- backports- modules' package has an even newever version, 1.2.25, that you could try.
Please let us know your results. Thanks.
