If you have a 64bit processor (intel or amd) then you should try the x64 version of ubuntu. i would be curious to see how many individuals have this chipset on systems with x86 processors. -- You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/687692 Title: Realtek 8191SEvB wireless card drops connections and can't reconnect without reboot Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I just purchased a Thinkpad 410s which for the most part Ubuntu works with fantastically out of the box (suspend and hibernate both work, 3D works, sound works). But the wifi occasionally gets disconnected, and when that happens it becomes impossible to reconnect without a reboot -- network manager will ask for the key as if it had been rejected, and then if I click ok it will try for awhile and eventually say I'm disconnected. I primarily have seen this when connecting to a WPA protected network, but I believe it's also happened on an unprotected network (where it doesn't ask for a key obviously but still can never reconnect). I played with toggling networking/wireless in the network manager context menu but it didn't have any effect on whether I could reconnect. The laptop also has a physical switch for turning the wireless on and off, but it made no difference either.
