I'm not necessarily implying that the access point is the problem. It
might be, or it might be doing something legitimate that Linux doesn't
handle correctly. But the problem definitely seems to be related to that
specific AP.

I'm going to need some more data. Please download the following script:

http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/wifi-debug

Open a terminal and navigate to the location where you saved it, then
run "chmod +x wifi-debug" to make it executable. Also run "sudo apt-get
install iw tshark" to make sure you have the programs required by wifi-
debug.

Now run "sudo ./wifi-debug -p". While this is running, click on the
network indicator and then the name of your network to restart the
connection. Wait for the connection to drop, then press Ctrl-C to stop
wifi-debug. When it is finished you should have a file named wifi-debug-
files.tar.gz in the same location. Please attach that file to this bug.

One warning: this is going to capture network activity on your wireless
interface. As long as you're AP is set up to use WPA security all the
data should be encrypted, but if you're concerned about it you should
avoid transmitting any sensitive information while wifi-debug is
running. Or you can remove the -p option to disable collection of
network activity, but without that data it will probably be difficult to
determine what is going on.

Thanks!
