[Bug 372885] [NEW] Wireless connection is lost, cannot reconnect without reboot

[Carsten Agger]

Public bug reported:

I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Remix on an Acer Aspire One.

This is the wireless card as indicated by lspci:

Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express
Adapter (rev 01)

I've installed linux-backports-modules-jaunty, and after booting, it
connects to the network without any problems. However, after an
unpredictable amount of time - may vary between a couple of hours and as
little as five minutes - connection is lost, and the Network Applet
shows the "reconnecting" animation.

However, the Network Manager *will not* reconnect to any wireless
network without rebooting.

Desired behaviour:

Wireless vard should not lose the connection,

AND

if it loses the connection, it should be possible to reconnect without
rebooting.
