Comment 224 for bug 401126

More info: I've been using the wireless adapter with ac power plugged in for several hours and it seems OK. Strong signal and stable. So i think the fact that the adapter starts having issues when these laptops are on battery power has been thoroughly proven.

More importantly, though, I'm not an Ubuntu user. My troubles and output (above) all happen on Fedora 12 x86_64 (fully updated to kernel 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64). Thus, this issue is definitely not distribution-related. Recent kernels simply don't support the driver and the package supplied in this thread has problems with power management.

@david woo - Thanks for the package submissions. Hopefully we can get it working stably on all machines soon and then have it included into the distro kernels.
