Title:
  168c:002b Wireless connection randomly drops -- ath9k

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This an old problem that oneiric had in its early days. The wifi
  connection randomly drops. Sometimes it reconnect itself (after asking
  for the WPA key again ...), but most of time it is needed to
  deactivate/activate wireless networking from nm-applet or, when it
  doesn't do the trick, I need to turn off/on wireless networks using
  the hw switch.
