I have this same problem on my Thinkpad T43 running Lucid. The problem happens intermittently for me, maybe once a day under normal usage. Reloading the module fixes the issue.
The only interesting messages I can find in syslog are the following: May 31 11:07:13 atomic-thinkpad kernel: [17876.016745] ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting. May 31 11:07:13 atomic-thinkpad wpa_supplicant[851]: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys I noticed that on my other laptop, using a broadcom chipset with the wl driver, that WPA2 connections were quite unreliable and I frequently had to do module reloads until recently. While I don't use unsecured wireless that often, I can't say that I've ever noticed this problem happen on non-WPA connections. I am using a router with WPA2-AES authentication (not TKIP) -- ipw2200 sometimes uses 100% CPU on resume https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67786 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
