Hello, I do experience precisely the same error on a Lenovo Thinkpad x230 with kubuntu 15.04. The x230 has the Centrino Advanced 6205 N wifi chipset. The error did not occur with Debian 7, I had this set up on the machine before.
The bug really is extremely menacing, one is forced to reconnect multiple times per day, sometimes every ten minutes or so. I am glad to finally see a bug report. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1420243 Title: iwlwifi + intel 6205 + tp-link 4300: bandwidth changed = host unreachable Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: when using the combo of Intel 6205N (IBM ThinkPad T430s) and TP-Link TL-WDR4300 router there is a problem of sudden loss of connectivity after a "bandwidth change" event is registered by wifi module. In log: Feb 10 13:09:28 lenovo kernel: [1981878.856612] wlan0: AP <redacted> changed bandwidth, new config is 2462 M Hz, width 1 (2462/0 MHz) Feb 10 13:09:31 lenovo kernel: [1981881.929193] wlan0: AP <redacted> changed bandwidth, new config is 2462 M Hz, width 2 (2452/0 MHz) After that point no frames are coming from the router. I.e. even ARP is not resolving, although the wifi connection seems to look fine in NetworkManager. Restarting networking or killing wpa_supplicant solves the problem for a while.
