I would say this represents ideal wireless behavior as the link is active "immediately" upon login. This is to the same access point I always use (Netgear WNR3500L if that matters). ** Attachment added: "syslog when booting from 2.6.37.6 kernel" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/767192/+attachment/2089946/+files/20110426_02063706_syslog -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/767192 Title: Wireless flaky on Acer Aspire 5100 after installing Natty -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
