["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

RedMirtle, could you please confirm this issue exists with the latest
development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains,
could you please just make a comment to this.

If reproducible in Trusty, could you please test the latest upstream
kernel via http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/v3.13-rc2-trusty/ and advise to the results?

** Description changed:

- The wifi disconnects constantly. It can take an hour or five minutes. I originally used the normal Network Manager, case in which the connection i was connecting to would actually disappear from the list until i requested the Network to be disabled and enabled again. I changed to Wicd, following a suggestion in another report and the disappearance of the connection was fixed, though it would still disconnect.

  Everytime the connection is about to drop, the computer laggs.
  This problem began during Kernel 3.5. I used to boot to that in order to avoid it and the wifi worked flawelessly. Unfortunately with Salamander, that Kernel doesn't start the graphics properly (I get a funky X instead of a mouse pointer). After 3.5, I tried every kernel that was out as they were periodically updated, until 3.11, to no avail.

- I realize this is a bug diplicated from this bug:
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1115998
- 
- and this bug:
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1181011
- 
- that use my same laptop and present the same problem. Unfortunatelly both bugs have expired. Plus, bug report ettiquete states to file a bug per machine :D
- Needless to say, I'm not nerdy enough to bisect kernel (read that term for the first time right now) but I'm ready to learn :)
- Help me Obi Wan Kenobi's, you're my only hope!! ':(
