I checked BIOS and I have the newest version (17HX). It also happens with saucy. Here is a log from ping:

Wired (ethernet) connections keep working normally. This prevents using only external monitor in places where wired connections are not accessible and forces the user to keep the laptop display on even if it is not needed. Changing the power manager settings to "Do nothing" does not affect this. It also does not matter if the laptop is plugged in or not. Looking at this discussion, it seems this problem has existed at least from Ubuntu 8.04, and Kubuntu is affected as well: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=968785 Apparently, at some point, disabling the screen saver would fix this issue. However, there is no such setting on Ubuntu 12.10. --- ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu10 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: unksi 2255 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: unksi 2255 F...m pulseaudio CRDA: Error: command ['iw', 'reg', 'get'] failed with exit code 1: nl80211 not found.
