Comment 24 for bug 549827

I have very similar behavior, happens several time during a day. It happen with 9.10 but it became more frequent with 10.4.The major difference with the original report that a successful connection is always established after reboot.

On some occasions both wireless and wired connection exist, but no ip is accessible. eth0 always restores normal operations as soon as I restart networking service (disable/enable through Network manager applet), but it doesn't help wireless connection could not be established, even though a network is available and signal strength is around 50%.

After I tried to reload ath9k driver and I could reconnect, though it takes 10-15 seconds (is it normal?)

dmesg is very similar to what was presented in the original report. Any other information you need?

Thank you
