Hi all, I know its 5 years since this bug was reported. I still face the
issue with Natty Narwhal, Ubuntu 11.04. Is bug the reason for the
wireless network connectivity to be lost every few seconds ? My laptops
keep disconnecting from the network every few seconds. Any suggestions
on how to fix the issue would be really helpful . Thanks !
