Public bug reported: I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Remix on an Acer Aspire One.
This is the wireless card as indicated by lspci: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) I've installed linux-backports-modules-jaunty, and after booting, it connects to the network without any problems. However, after an unpredictable amount of time - may vary between a couple of hours and as little as five minutes - connection is lost, and the Network Applet shows the "reconnecting" animation. However, the Network Manager *will not* reconnect to any wireless network without rebooting. Desired behaviour: Wireless vard should not lose the connection, AND if it loses the connection, it should be possible to reconnect without rebooting. ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Wireless connection is lost, cannot reconnect without reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/372885 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
