[Bug 277634] Re: Intel Pro/Wireless 4965 AG stops transferring data within a few minutes

[Michael Kenniston]

This bug also affect my system, a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Intel wireless
card running 8.04 LTS with Kernel Linux 2.6.24-27-generic.  I always
install all system updates.  I had trouble getting WPA to work so it is
configured to use WEP.  lspci shows:

0b:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or
AGN Network Connection (rev 61)

The wireless works fine for a while (sometimes a few minutes, sometimes
an hour or two), then randomly drops out.  I've been
disabling/reenabling wireless or even rebooting to get it back, but
after reading the other reports I wonder if it's really just the elapsed
time that fixes it.  This symptom has been present ever since I first
installed Ubuntu on the brand-new machine about a year ago.  It is
especially annoying because I paid extra to get an Intel card to try to
avoid such problems.  (My previous system with a Broadcom card used
"ndist" with windows drivers and worked great, but I haven't figured out
a way to do that in 8.04)

I checked /var/log/sys* and there are no "supplicant" or "motd" messages
in there.

I'd be willing to try the backport module, but when I bring up the
Synaptic GUI it cannot find a package named "linux-backports-modules-
jaunty".
