In Lucid (STA driver version 5.60.48.36) I get disconnects every minute. In addition the new driver is painfully slow. Speed cut by half. In Karmic (older version of STA driver) there were no problems at all. Sometimes a disconnect but not to mention.

So "iwconfig ethX power off" is the only solution I know to resolve the disconnects problem (slow speed is still persistent problem). I put that in "/etc/rc.local".
