[Bug 374650] Re: Wireless Disconnects When Loaded by Torrent Traffic, Must Reboot To Reconnect

[Zaphod]

This is a good start for reporting bugs as well as the Ubuntu
forums. Unfortunately this bug has been around for a while it seams to be
with some intel wireless chips. For some reason I have found that installing
9.04 and upgrading to the latest version seams to fix the problem. At east
it did for me when I was using 9.10. With that said I am running a
regular fresh install of 10.04 right now. I have found that if you right
click on the Wireless and uncheck wireless and then recheck wireless it will
save you a reboot when it is acting up.

Some people have said it is related to using Wireless N but I would rather
have the faster LAN speed than disable it.

Hopefully it isn't an issue with the newer chipsets I think I am going to
buy a HP Envy 15 this summer.

My Dell XPS m1500 is falling apart on me (literally).

Thanks,
Nicholas Vilppu
