Forgive me if this bug is a duplicate but I didn't see a recent bug with these details.... I did a clean install of Kubuntu 10.04 beta 2 and i noticed the wireless was connection would work initially after boot and then it would drop and then tray icon would continue to say "Connecting" and "Activating" when i right clicked on it and never connect again. I did get it to reconnect once after unloading the iwl3945 and iwlcore modules and reloading them, then restarting the networking init.d script, but that only worked once, every other time i had to reboot for it to work again. Most recently though i connected it and left it on overnight and it stayed connected fine the whole time (i had received IMs meanwhile) and i was able to browse through gmail and the web fine but as soon as I went to a YouTube link it died right away. So then i installed the mainline kernel version: 2.6.34-999 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/ and tried the same YouTube link and everything works fine.

Previous kernel versions I was using that had the problem:
2.6.32-19
2.6.32-21

By the was in case it matters I was using google chrome as the browser and the wireless network I am connected too is using DD-WRT v24-sp1with WPA Personal. My laptop is an IBM Thinkpad T60 and here is my lspci:

So for now it seems to be working fine with the mainline kernel I installed but if there is any other info/testing i can provide let me know.
Thanks,
