Public bug reported: I'm seeing symptoms similar to those described in #911059 and #948235, but I'm not sure as they're not very specific.
I'm seeing intermittent loss of connectivity, where there are no errors, the connection stays "up" but packets are no longer getting through. I've tried going back through the past few kernels, and the problem is consistent from 3.2.0-19.30 through 3.2.0-23.36 (which seems to be current). I see no errors in dmesg or other indications of what's going wrong, but It's very easily reproducible, as it happens all the time. I lose connectivity about once every 30 seconds, for about 30 seconds, i.e. it's down 50% of the time. tutti:[~] ping -I wlan0 192.168.0.1 PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) from 192.168.0.157 wlan0:
