Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
On Kubuntu Jaunty, the wireless connection on my laptop (an Intel 4965
card using iwlagn) will occasionally and randomly drop the connection,
and then reconnect immediately. I tracked down what appears to be the
cause of the problem. In the syslog (which I have attached), it says
that Network-Manager failed to get the power for the rf_kill switch. It
then says that the kill switch is enabled, and proceeds to disable the
wireless. However, it immediately re-detects that the switch is in the
Disabled (Wireless ON) position, and reconnects. I am currently using
the linux-backports-modules iwlagn driver to solve another bug, but this
bug occurs with the stock driver as well. I have attached the relevant
portions of the syslog and dmesg.
