** Description changed: After 5 minutes of inactivity the wireless connection drops. If I use the connection for any reason (downloading files, surfing webpages, etc), it can work for hours without any problem but after just 5 minutes of inactivity, even though the icon of "connection properties" still shows connected, I can't download data, connect to router or anything else. I noticed that monitors on the icon start blinking continuously. After reading all bugs launchpad suggested me before posting this one, I noticed I few bug reports that look like mine, but none of them talks about inactivity which is exactly my problem. A few more details about my hardware / software: Notebook Hp pavilion zv5000 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03) NOT using bcm43xx opensource driver (with this driver I have to be close to the router: a few meters far from it and no way to get connected). USING wireless card drivers bcmwl5 with Ndiswrapper Bios updated to latest version Ubuntu 7.10 + Dual boot with Windows Xp Home edition Network manager removed Connect to a router with static ip and wpa encryption Using wpa_supplicant Tried booting kernel with "apm=off" but no change. Hope not to be wrong, but never experienced this problem with feisty fawn or dapper drake Thanks.
