this sounds like the same issue i was having as well. i don't know a fix exactly, but what i found was a work around. replace network-manager with wicd talked about in this bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/459933
just 'sudo apt-get install wicd' i takes care of removing network-manager and installs wicd and since i have been running i have not had a single issue with the wireless. in 9.04 and 9.10 i was having an issue that when i was xfering large data files from my windows server to my ubuntu install over this 5100 agn wireless it would just drop out in such a way that it would lock up the ubuntu smb and the windows box nfs so that i would have to reboot both of them. now with wicd i can actually suspend my laptop and more importantly rewake my laptop, it would just leave me with a flashing cursor using network-manager. I am not sure what is wrong with this iwlagn driver but network-manager makes it mad at least. -t -- iwlagn/iwlcore modules stop responding https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378189 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
