Comment 10 for bug 69717

encountering this issue too, I found this bug report, but on a "2.6.20-16-generic" kernel (ubuntu 7.04), not a 2.6.20-17 kernel...
what I can "say" (sorry for low-level technical information, but may help, never know) :
* I have an ATI video card (3D Rage Pro AGP 1X/2X), no nVidia (see link in Chris Wagner's Post)
* It not an "OS-shared PC" : 100% linux on it, no double-boot.
* IRQ 11 is shared betw. this PCI card ("Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless Interface" just like Chris Wagner's one) and my Ethernet Card (Realtek RTL8029(AS) PCI)
* I've got this problem since ... tonight ... never got any kind of disconnection before (well, just when playing with wep settings, but nothing to do with it, is it ?)
* This PC has been under Ubuntu 6.10 upgr. to 7.04 and is up to date.
* No software installed betw. yesterday and tonight
* I see all my neighborhood wireless networks (incl. mine)
* I can connect to my essid from a laptop which gets good signal when placed besides the 1st PC.
* This problem came up from 1st boot today (eg. probably not a question of temperature)
If needed, I can spend time on contributing... but (sorry again) please be rather explicit for tests to do (eg which command,
which switches, etc..), for I am a quite young penguin for now...

Kindest Regards,
Damien
