I am seeing this also. I've been using ubuntu testing for greater than a year and the problem persists. I am have a Dell D830 were lspci shows "Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN". The laptop is interacting with an Asus router running DD-WRT and am using WPA encryption. The error I see in syslog when my connection drops is (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is my router's ethernet mac):

It most often is noticeable when watching an HD video with mythtv over the wireless link as the interruption immediately stops the video. There are points in some videos when the datastream bandwidth varies and at that point the connection will drop 4 out of 5 times. -- Wi-fi with WPA an ipw2200 disconnects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226415 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
