wireless disconnects and does not reconnect -- Broadcom BCM4306 b43-pci-bridge; ssb

[Noel Arzola]

The wireless disconnects from its current network after awhile and does not reconnect after entering the password in the dialog box that prompts during reconnect. It also obviously does not auto reconnect.

This occurs during network activity (torrents, etc) but also happens while its idle with no network activity.

It does not connect to any other networks.

Logging out/in does not resolve.

A system reboot always resolves the issue.

This is a new issue, for this system, after upgrading to 10.04 as 9.10 did not have this issue.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.
