I have this bug and this workaround DID NOT fix it for me. Machine works AOK booting into Windows, connects straight away and never drops the connection.
Under 10.04 and 10.10, the connection would be dropped occasionally (maybe after a few hours of inactivity) and annoyingly pop up the password dialog asking for confirmation (rather than just auto- connecting -- there doesn't seem to be an option for that). Under 11.04, the machine is UNUSABLE. When in the SAME ROOM as the router, it connects straight away and works forever. (Like now.) When moved just 15 feet away, it drops the connection within seconds. Moving it back to the same room as the router reconnects it. Moving it 15 feet and it loses it within 5-15 seconds again. I'm gobsmacked that Ubuntu has screwed up such an elementary driver. Please tell me what dumps you would like me to provide. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/757700 Title: Eeepc 1000HE (rt2860pci) Natty wifi connection isn't staying connected -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
