Sujith Manoharan, my apologies as I did not realize you were an upstream
maintainer. Despite this, not intending to patronize you, but as
previously documented in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/945379/comments/45
, it is requested of users who make "Me too!" comments on WiFi linux
(Ubuntu) bug reports on Launchpad to provide all data in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LinuxWireless (which includes requesting
a WiFi backports test) on a separate bug report. This helps prevent
"dogpiling", as many like to say they have the same problem, but when
they make a new report, as you may have experienced, the high majority
have different permutations of WiFi chipset, connecting hardware,
router, and root cause.

If you would prefer a different workflow then that previously
documented, please feel free to ping me directly so we can take this
discussion off report and work on making the documentation more
efficient.

Thank you for your understanding.

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.
