I installed the latest iwlwifi drivers (from http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download, not by installing a new kernel), and am getting *vastly* improved wireless connection stability. I didn't change anything else, and it's still in WPA. I'm still on Wicd (which i know much prefer to nm, actually - much more granular in its settings, and uses the underlying tools - it's more geeky and less magic, if you will).
Others with this problem should also try to install newer drivers. I compiled the drivers from source, but you can also get a modules- backport package which in theory should be just as recent; see http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download#Getting_compat- wireless_on_Ubuntu -- [Karmic] Intel Pro/Wireless 3945BG (driver: iwl3945) disconnects frequently at random https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429035 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
