Public bug reported: When downloading files the WiFi becomes uncommunicative. Disconnecting and reconnecting WiFi renables the network but the problem does not go away.
I've performed two fresh installs of 12.04 both having same problem. System is dual boot with Windows 7 which experiences no network problems. chris@shellsort:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Release: 12.04 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic 3.2.0-23.36 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-23.36-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-23-generic x86_64 AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
