apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected staging
** Description changed: I am using an old Sony TR1MP 32bit laptop, ubuntu 12.04 (the system is not supported by later ubuntu versions). I use a Micronet wireless USB dongle since the inbuilt wifi is very slow, and is disabled by blacklisting it. The dongle shows if it is working since it flashes blue when it does. Lately the wifi connection often fails at boot, with the system not attempting to connect (the dongles does not light up). Sometimes it works, and then drops out later. Sometimes it reconnects by itself, sometimes not. Sometimes removing the dongle, waiting and then reinserting it works, sometimes not. Looking at syslog, I see the attached Kernel errors when the connection fails. The problem seems to have got worse recently. The wifi has always been a little unstable, but is now nearly unusable. - I will gladly supply more information if someone can tell me precisely - what is needed. I'm not an expert at linux, but not totally useless at - it either. + I will gladly supply more information if someone can tell me precisely what is needed.
