Dell Inspiron 1720 with Broadcom Wi-Fi b/g/n card. Access point is Apple AirPort Extreme 802.11b/g/n, WPA2 security. Worked fine on Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10. Tested with neighbor's totally open Linksys 802.11b/g, problem also occurs.
As others have said, simple reboot does not work. You must shut down and then power on again. Disconnects are very random; it could go for four hours or four minutes before disconnects start.
Using the router's defaults make no difference. Yes, the firmware error is always in the log when the disconnect happens.
Very frustrating! I love 9.04 other than this. There are four other Mac laptops, one Dell XP laptop, and two iPhones in the house that maintain rock solid connections.
Hope this helps and that this bug can be addressed somehow. I would say it has to be a driver issue. Any way to revert to an older wl driver?
