[Bug 525902] Re: Network card keeps dropping the connection

I seem to have the same issue with Lucid. I'm using a Netgear WNDA3100
USB dongle which works using the ar9170usb driver. After some time (from
5 minutes to a couple of hours) the connection will drop and scanning
for wireless networks will produce no more results. In my case,
rebooting has no effect. The thing that cures the problem is unplugging
the USB dongle and replugging it - voila, instant connection.

I believe this is due to Network Manager. Uninstalling network-manager
and network-manager-gnome and configuring wpa_supplicant by hand has
given me a stable connection since this morning (it's never lasted this
long so far).
