** Description changed:
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.
