Tim, the next step is to bisect the kernel in order to identify the offending commit. Could you please do this following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ?
** Description changed: Ubuntu 12.04 on an Acer Aspire 1810t with an Intel 5100 AGN wifi card - (that performed flawlessly on Ubuntu 10.04) appears to have a bug - somewhere in the wireless network stack. Wireless works as expected at - first, and connections can be configured with Network Manager without + (that performed flawlessly on Ubuntu 10.04). Wireless works as expected + at first, and connections can be configured with Network Manager without any problem, including a WPA2-Personal home network, but after some time (usually a number of hours, almost always after a suspend-to-ram or hibernate) the wireless connection drops and is unable to reconnect. After reboot, the wireless works at first, then the process repeats itself.
