I have had the same problems ince the upgrade from Natty in October and
it is really becoming a pain.

My data from lsusb does not contain any information about WLAN, so I
cannot say if I use the same driver.

My WLAN card is :
- product: AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) [168C:2A]
- vendor: Atheros Communications Inc. [168C]

I hope something will be done about it soon or at least a solution
strategy will be known. So far Wicd has helped me a few times, but other
updates since the upgrade seem to make it worse.
