Public bug reported:
After distro upgrade to Natty, wifi will only connect if signal is a
full four bars (e.g. in same room as router). After moving the laptop to
a room where the signal is two or three bars, the wifi disconnects in
seconds. After a while it shows the annoying authentication dialog, but
never connects. Moving the laptop back to a full four-bar signal
reconnects it instantaneously and stays on forever.
Same machine booted into Windows partition never drops the connection in
the same rooms.
Before the Natty upgrade, wifi would only drop connection after some
time (hours?) of inactivity (and would show the annoying connection
dialog rather than automatically reconnecting). I'm not sure if this bug
is an exacerbation of that bad behavior.
