[JeffCragg <jc.post.box@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I get this on both a vostro 3360 laptop and a separate machine with a
Ralink corp. RT2561/RT61 802.11g PC card and motherboard network . I did
think it was something to do with another possible connection being
available but it still happens when you disable that conenction in
network settings.

Anyway, whatever is wrong, I think this is more than a medium priority
because a consistent wifi connection is a requirement of so many apps,
amongst others pidgin breaks as a client for gtalk because missed
messages are not later loaded. They are just missed. So pidgin is
effectively busted. It doesn't seem to happen when the network is in
use, so skype for example stops working but not during calls.

Fix is to disable enable wifi sometimes disable onboard network (not
plugged in), random fiddle basically.

Hopefully broken network can be triaged above medium!
