Bug Description
Binary package hint: samba
In 8.10 (32-bit) on an HP 2133 Mini-Note with a Broadcom BCM4312 wireless card, if I try to copy files from a windows share to my laptop, after about 30 MB, the wireless connection dies. Always. I am using the hardware Broadcom Driver that was suggested to me after the install.
What is worse, it it impossible to dismount the remote disk, and it is also impossible to cancel the file transfer in the file transfer dialog. Breaking a network connection is a commonplace event. I should be able to clean up after it without a reboot!

This seems like an issue with the wireless driver to me.
