Note that I tried to use WICD instead of network manager and I have the same issue. The only difference is that WICD tells me that I am disconnected when my connection drops. Network manager on the other hand tells me that I am still connected. Reconnecting fixes the issue (temporarily)
I don't have that problem at all when I use an ethernet cable. Finally, this problem only started to show up a couple of months ago, before that everything was working fine with 12.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066404 Title: wireless connection drops Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 (fully updated) and the wireless connection keeps dropping. It appears to be connected in Network Manager but I'm unable to reach any web pages or the admin page of my router. Clicking on the network manager icon and selecting my network re- establishes the connection which is fine for about half an hour then it drops again.
