I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with an Intel 4965 AG wireless card

running Ubuntu 8.10 and kernel 2.6.27-10 (but I also saw the issue with 2.6.27-9).

The issue is that, at apparently random times, the wireless connection drops. It usually comes back by itself after a few minutes, but sometimes not. Whenever the connection drops, I see log entries similar to those reported by others:
