I believe I've found another interesting aspect to this issue.  I
believe it is actually capable of forcing my Motorola Surfboard 6120
cable modem to reboot.  When using a wireless connection to do a git
repo sync with Cyanogenmod (or anything that involves a substantial
download), my cable modem will reboot every few minutes with the
following logged errors.

Cable Modem Reboot due to T4 timeout 
;CM-MAC=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX;CMTS-MAC=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;
Unicast Maintenance Ranging attempted - No response - Retries 
exhausted;CM-MAC=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX;CMTS-MAC=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;
Ranging Request Retries 
exhausted;CM-MAC=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX;CMTS-MAC=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;

time-out;CM-MAC=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX;CMTS-MAC=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;

If I use a wired connection and disable wireless, I can do these
synchronizes without a problem on the cable modem.  Other machines on
the network don't have issues, pointing directly at this Intel wireless
problem.  What I find most interesting about this is that there is a
wireless router, switch and Linux router in the networking path within
the house.  I don't know enough about networking to understand how the
wireless driver/hardware could possibly be creating packets that flow
through the network and crater the cable modem.  Very strange indeed.

I'm pondering whether I need to re-install to roll back to 11.04 where
networking was stable.  I see that there is ongoing conversation with
the Intel wireless driver folks, but does anyone have an idea if/when
this might be fixed?
