[Bug 220103] [NEW] Madwifi randomly disconnects and reconnects; causes networkmanager to flood logs

[Nick B.]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules

linux-restricted-modules:
  Installed: 2.6.24.16.18
  Candidate: 2.6.24.16.18
  Version table:

I'm using the Madwifi driver with a Netgear WG511T wireless card on
Hardy. Quite frequently it will disconnect for a few seconds and then
jump right back on the network. Sometimes it's so quick it's not even
noticeable.  Whenever this happens Networkmanager will dump a couple of
these in the logs

Apr 20 23:31:55 P3nguins NetworkManager: <info>  Supplicant state changed: 1 

As I mentioned before this happens quite often, so Networkmanager is
completely flooding my logs with these messages.

This is a WEP encrypted connection if it matters.
