Public bug reported:
On an older Dell laptop with a RT73 chipset wireless USB dongle,
wireless works fine on boot. If I open pidgin, within 20 seconds the
wireless is gone, and dhclient wlan0 reports that there is no such
device. If I cntrl-alt-F5 to tty5 its just tons of repeating messages
This bug also comes about on suspending the laptop, and after awakening,
well it actually doesnt even go to sleep, the wireless is haywire as
described above.
