"Me too" with 10.04 (I can't get used to the fancy names), kernel 
2.6.32-24-generic, manual configuration thru /etc/network/interfaces (no NM or 
other), D-Link DWL-G510 card (Ralink RT2561/RT61 chipset) and ECS M810LR 7.1a 
mobo (SiS730S chipset). I'm using a WEP protected network, in "managed" mode, 
in an office with half a dozen Windoze machines. All of them connect well.
Connection just drops after a long while sitting idle (probably less than an 
hour). ifdown and ifup bring it back to life, just to fall again later.

This computer used to have Win 2k and a TrendNet TEW-228PI wireless
card. Then I installed Ubuntu 6.06, then upgraded to 8.04, and it was
OK. I wanted to test 10.04 but the TrendNet board is unsupported and I
didn't want to use ndiswrapper. So both the card and the OS were changed
at once. Then it became unstable.

The signal is also quite low. I got -60dBm here, while another machine,
twice as far from the router and in a less favourable angle, is around
-50dBm. It definitely seems 10.04 (probably 9.10 too) is messing the
signal. Would it be the kernel driver?

Thinking about downgrading to 8.XX or 9.04.
Best regards all,
Emerson
