Adam, Scott, you guys are the most thoughtful and helpful even when my issue was not directly Shotwell related.

I have upgraded to 11.10 (as first step) and so far my wired connection is working. My original network drop issue was with both wired and wireless. So the immediate Shotwell issue is solved and I have my precious image library back.

Thanks again. I really love and evangelize Shotwell already but now I will do the same for the Shotwell community :-)

Definitely not fixed in 12.04 - even with all updates.

Given all the crash reports I have been getting from 12.04 I might even try the dev version of quantal myself.

Thanks for finding bug report though :)

Scott.

Looks like the wireless drop bug is here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/911059

That bug report claims this was fixed late in the 12.04 release cycle. I'd suggest trying either 12.04 with all software updates applied, or the development version of 12.10.

On a side note:

Actually the network drop is a known issue with intel wireless N cards. I'm on mobile at the moment so unable to find bug but there is a known workaround to this, so long as you can put up with wireless G speeds only.

Find the driver, or module, by using iwconfig - in my case I know I have the module iwlwifi.

To disable wireless N to see if it fixes problem, type these into a terminal window:

sudo rmmod iwlwifi (or whatever module is confit spits out)
sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1

What I have done is made myself a simple bash script with those two lines so that when I connect to an N network I can disable it and run at G speeds without failure.

Hope this helps,

Scott

Instead, you could try upgrading to the development version of Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal). I've been running it every day for months now with few problems. If the network drop problems are still occurring there, you could file a bug report with Ubuntu.
