Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
In Ubuntu 10.04 my wireless connection is dropping randomly. It happens more often when transferring files (either over LAN or the internet) but also happens when just surfing web pages or when idle at the desktop.
I have tried kernels 2.6.32, .33 and .34 in Lucid but this issue happens with the same frequency. I tried Fedora Core 13 and the same problem happened but after an upgrade to NetworkManager this issue was resolved and there were no more dropped connections. A working working version is NetworkManager-
Hardware: Acer Aspire One ZG5 Netbook
Ubuntu version: 10.04 32 bit
network-manager version: 0.8-0ubuntu3
wireless card: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
I almost forgot, the connection is usually able to re-establish itself but sometimes I have to tell network-manager to disconnect, wait a few seconds and then try the connection again
