Comment 14 for bug 300693

I have had this problem ever since a fresh install of 8.10 I'm using an asus m70vm-c1 with dual hard drives vista on first hardrive ubuntu on the second. every third or fourth boot it fails completely and the caps lock indicator blinks, the logs show continues failed initilization of iwglan the wireless card is an intel 5100 agn. This has been keeping me from using ubuntu as it's such an ungodly hassle. I've had numerous boot related issues with this install. A solution to this problem would be HUGE.

I've never had it crash on me after it's booted but the wireless card often doesn't initialize properly after boot and I have to stop/start network manager in order to get it up and working. Once it works it runs forever, seemingly I've had it on for more than 36 hours at a time. standby doesn't work right either otherwise the up time would probably be longer, for some reason it doesn't turn the back light on the screen on again after going into standby mode.
