Bug Description
I have a Toshiba M55-S139 laptop. It has the Atheros AR5005G Wireless Network Adapter. In Ubuntu 10.04, the WiFi worked fine, with very little issues. Now in Ubuntu 12.04, the WiFi connects for about 10 seconds and then randomly disconnects. I have tried resetting the WiFi settings, and it has not helped at all.
I don't know if it has something to do with the kernel, but I need an answer to fix this problem, or I'll have to rollback to Ubuntu 10.04.
I can provide more hardware info it it is needed. My laptop has been upgraded with maxed out ram....but I believe that is irrelevant in this matter.
