This issue was present in 8.04 and 8.10, I kept hoping it would be
resolved.
I have an excellent wifi-n connection until my wireless home phone
rings and then the wifi goes down and the network manager starts
showing the spin cycle. Normally any interruptions to the connection
will reconnect, i.e. I turn the router off etc, but in this case, if
the phone rings for more that a few seconds the wifi stops trying to
reconnect apparently.
I can understand it timing out, but what must be a bug is that manually
clicking in NM on the visible SSID has no affect, it just tells me the network
is disconnected and appears to make no attempt to reconnect. I then usually try
pretending it is hidden connection and I try opening it, this does not work
either. I have even tried deleting the connection and re entering it but still
I cannot get wifi back.
I normally just reboot the machine, I will do some tests now and attach the
results, however this will take a while as I will have to reboot each time to
post the results!
