Title:
  NM disconnects Wi-Fi every 2 minutes but iwconfig+dhclient and wicd
  don't -- ath9k

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager

  I have Dell studio XPS 13 running:
  Description:	Ubuntu 9.10
  Release:	9.10

  with wifi card (lspci):
  06:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)

  that works (tries to) with ath9k module.

  It connects to my access point and works ok however, It disconnects every 2-3 min saying (in dmesg):
  [  311.600306] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:1d:68:0c:97:63 (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=2)
  and then automatically reconnects... I have tried different drivers and other things....

  Interestingly when I right-clicked on network manger applet, select ¨disable networking¨ and then set up everything myself on console using iwconfig and dhclient..... IT WORKS!!!
  no disconnections....
  wpa_supplicant is still running in a background but not doing anything (my wifi has WEP encryption).

  I´ve seen some similar reports in Internet but they seem to think that
  it is a driver problem when to me it looks like a NetworkManager
  issue...

  Hope it helps....
