Comment 125 for bug 291760

I'm in the same boat as Jason. I also tried using the daily PPA, but it didn't fix anything.

Installing wicd in parallel with network-manager, and making the small change to the interfaces file mentioned by rivode (comment #115) seems to be working so far. That will also be my workaround until this is fixed.

Hopefully next time I'm at another office for a presentation/workshop I'll be able to connect to the wifi, actually stay connected and not drain my battery 3 times faster.

If it helps I have a Dell E6500 with stock Broadcom BCM4322 wireless card and running Lucid 32-bit

It's very frustrating that this issue still exists after a couple years of putting up with it.
