Problem is gone after a complete fresh install of Saucy Salamander on the same machine.
I suspect a problem between the b43 kernel driver and the proprietary firmware as I noticed a different URL when running firmware-b43-installer as part of the wireless installation. The previous installation of the machine dates back to Precise so quite a few update cycles were done. If somebody upstream wants to have more details, please update this bug so that I can get in touch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236937 Title: wifi connection drop (b43 eapol timeout) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1236937/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
