Hi all,

problem was solved here:
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) Release Candidate, 64-bit
- Broadcom driver: bcmwl-kernel-source 5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu3 (shipped with Ubuntu)

Applied Jens Janssen's suggestion:

sudo iwconfig ethX power off

(ethX = your wireless network interface)

...and it worked! No more dropped connections or "dirty" workarounds with continuous 'pings'.

Cheers!
