Plutocrat, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .
If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report. apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance. ** Description changed: Seemed related to other bugs, but this is a new issue. Hardware is a Thinkpad R51e with Atheros chip: - *-network - description: Wireless interface - product: Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter - vendor: Atheros Communications Inc. - physical id: 2 - bus info: pci@0000:04:02.0 - logical name: wlan0 - version: 01 - serial: 00:16:ce:61:40:aa - width: 32 bits - clock: 33MHz - capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless - configuration: broadcast=yes driver=ath5k ip=10.11.12.108 latency=168 maxlatency=28 mingnt=10 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bg - resources: irq:22 memory:a0300000-a030ffff + *-network + description: Wireless interface + product: Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter + vendor: Atheros Communications Inc. + physical id: 2 + bus info: pci@0000:04:02.0 + logical name: wlan0 + version: 01 + serial: 00:16:ce:61:40:aa + width: 32 bits + clock: 33MHz + capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless + configuration: broadcast=yes driver=ath5k ip=10.11.12.108 latency=168 maxlatency=28 mingnt=10 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bg + resources: irq:22 memory:a0300000-a030ffff Driver worked fine in 9.10, and on new installation of 10.04. On upgrading kernel from 2.6.32-21 to 2.6.32-22, problems started to occur. Initial connection to WPA2 access point is fine on boot up. After around 1 hour, connection will drop and cannot be re-negotiated. Restarting network is ineffective. Change to wicd is ineffective. Rebooting is the only way to get a connection again. Rebooting into kernel 2.6.32-21 also fixes the problem. + + WORKAROUND: if using WPA/WPA2-personal security mode had to have the + encryption on my router set to AES only.
