G'day Jerry, I just saw your post and thought I would share the latest development for me because it looks like my connection is staying up. (I will reserve my final judgment till tomorrow after I have slept all night and the connection hopefully has stayed up.)
I noticed that Ben McCann in one of his posts above was speculating that the graphics "chrome" driver seemed to make the connection go down in certain situations (why the video driver should interfere with the wireless driver is beyond my understanding.). He then suggested to use another graphics driver "vesa" which he seems to think is inferior to the "chrome" driver but that the connections stays up. So, I decided to try it. This is what I have now: 1. Ubuntu 9.04 2. Broadcom STA Wireless Driver (I think this may be important). 3. "vesa" video driver by modifying the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (a bit tricky if you don't know how, be sure to take a backup before you mess with it.) For now it seems to stay up and I have no complaints about the "vesa" driver's graphics. If you don't know how to do these things, then perhaps I could talk you through it on the phone, but not now, I need to go to bed. If you like, we can try it tomorrow. Ubuntu is a fabulous operating system and I don't want to switch to something else just because of this problem, but I do wish the clever systems programmers could fix the problem and issue updated software we could install and everything works thereafter.
