Why is this still "Undecided" even after 8 months? It's basic
functionality that is buggy as hell. I, for one, need stable wifi
because the router is down the hall, and my flatmate's at that, and I
won't put 10 m of network cable across the flat just because my wifi
driver and the kernel won't talk. At university, I also can't just plug
my laptop into a network socket everywhere :\ I'm seriously disappointed
that there doesn't seem to be any motion to fix this very annoying issue
so far. Changing my Ubuntu back to upstart and using a little script to
switch wifi power management off on start helps to at least reduce the
crashes to once a week or so and no wifi after resuming from standby,
but this is just a workaround and not a real solution, especially since
it just shifts problems elsewhere – I basically can't use standby.

Title:
  [Xbuntu 14.04, 14.10 and 15.04] Network manager stops working: iwl3945
  0000:03:00.0: BSM uCode verification failed at addr ...; wlan0:
  deauthenticating from... by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING),

Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  From time to time, the system loses all wireles networks and kubuntu
  network manager applet goes blank - not even one network is shown. All
  wifi connections are broken. Rebooting fixes the issue, switching to
  WICD on-the-fly enables to continue browsing without rebooting, so it
  seems to be no hardware issue or iwl3945 issue.

  What to expect: stable connections and flawless network managing.
  What happens: so above.

  Further informations about the system, the network configuration, the
  package version can be found in the attachment, also parts of rsyslog
  and dmesg.

  Interesting, according to some helpers, are the following lines:
  dmesg:   wlan0: deauthenticating from 02:26:4d:ac:8f:45 by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)
