With 2.6.32.3 the situation is better but with problems. After some hours (8? 10?) I come back to the PC and the connection was lost. The ping command that pings every 3 seconds my router was giving:
ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available Restarting network-manager and umounting/mounting the module doesn't fix the connection.
