Comment 94 for bug 93360

Although my wireless connection is working (somehow), I often find that
update manager will kill that connection to the extent that I need to reboot
my router! I can't just reboot the laptop, it actually kills my router
somehow. Jeez! Yet, when I use a wired connection to my router, everything
is just fine.

BTW, I have no idea how I got it working on my laptop, but somehow it just
started working. I had a similar experience when I was first trying to
configure my laptop. I was trying to set parameters in the /etc/networking
config files (or something like that), but I eventually gave up on that old
way of doing it and left it all to network manager (which was overwriting my
config changes anyhow). Of all the things that was most annoying, this
network problem was and still is right on the top of my list.
