I just ran sudo modprobe acer-wmi and that was enough to bring back the
repeated disconnections. So was removing acer-wmi from blacklist.conf and
rebooting. To make Ubuntu work for these machine
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf could "blacklist acer-wmi" by default.

This bug no longer exists in recent 3.2 kernels, and a kernel bisect exceeds my
current experience and skills. I do NOT have "basic git skills, sorry about
that.
As I said before, the disconnects STOPPED when I started blacklisting
the acer-wmi module, which others reported as causing the probl
Probably FIXED:
With Linux 3.2.0-17 or 3.2.0-18, and with acer-wmi blacklisted, the slow
connection speed seems to be resolved in connections to most routers at
libraries, etc. Still keeping 2.6.38-8-generic around for any surprises
for now. Blacklisting acer-wmi stopped the disconnects as stated

UPDATE: This bug was NOT present in a fresh install of Ubuntu Oneiric 64 bit on
the offendingf laptop. I do not know, however, if this was because of the use
of 64 bit or because some legacy file in my old install was confusing

No it would not unless there has been some change pertaining to this
particular driver, in which case I would be willing to but it might take
several days before I can get to it. .
I can no longer take responsability for testing Oneiric kernels in the laptop,
as I have moved it to Precise, hav
When I attempted to connect using Linux 3.0.0-11.18-generic-pae, the wireless
card came up as "not available" possibly a different bug. Rebooting with the
2.6.38-8-generic brought back the wireless card recognition.
