Comment 1 for bug 351032

Dual boot Vista/Kubuntu 9.10 HP 6715b laptop.

The wireless under Kubuntu frequently drop outs when copying large files across the network. The desktop becomes unresponsive and the system needs to be rebooted.

It's so unreliable that the system is unusable using wireless on Kubuntu. Previous OpenSuse 11.1 (Gnome) installation didn't suffer as much, although drop outs were more frequent than with Vista. However, it managed to reconnect and didn't lose responsiveness.

After a while, it offers the login box to the wireless network, but won't reconnect, even with the correct parameters.
