[Seth Forshee <seth.forshee+lp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The kernel warning above does not seem to be typical based on the rest
of the logs. What I observe are frequent connections to the network
named Livebox-F5C8 which are quickly dropped with this message:

 wlan0: deauthenticated from a0:ec:80:4f:f5:c8 (Reason: 6)

The "Reason: 6" part indicates that we received a response from the
access point saying that we tried to do something which requires being
authenticated with the AP when not authenticated. But we obviously are
authenticated, so this may be a bug in the AP or just a misleading
response. In either case it forces us to disconnect and to try and
reconnect. I wouldn't expect this to show a steady connection in the nm-
applet however.

After this goes on for a while then I start seeing the "a command is
already active" message. This does indicate some kind of messed up
hardware state, but it does not seem to be the primary cause of your
connection issues.

I also see some instances of DHCP timeouts, but these are far
outnumbered by the above problem.

In addition to the testing that Joe has requested, can you let us know
whether you see this problem only with the Livebox-F5C8 network or if it
happens with other wireless networks as well? Thanks.

Title:
  Connection drops though network manager reports everything as OK

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  A few times a day, my connection will drop and the network manager
  applet is telling me that there is no problem. However, I can no
  longer connect to my wifi router or the outside internet.

  In the syslog I see the following call trace:

  Rebooting the router and the computer allows me to connect again to
  the wifi.

  I'm on Ubuntu 13.10.
