Bug Description
My wireless card connects immediately upon log-in but disconnects within several (usually 1-5) minutes. I can still see the networks through NetworkManager but when trying to reconnect I am asked for the WEP key and the connection eventually times out after failing to connect.
Restarting the network manager (sudo /etc/init.

Just some additional information:
I originally installed the most recent Ubuntu server kernel and ran into the problem above so I installed the generic Ubuntu kernel (which is what the above report is based on).
Also, the computer dual boots with Windows 7 and the wireless card hasn't had any connection problems under Windows, so I do not think its a hardware problem.
This is my first bug report to Ubuntu and while I included the information requested, if anyone can think of anything else to include please let me know.
