I retried the 'power off' work-around and it still failed to prevent my laptop's wireless from dropping after 5 or 10 minutes. I also figured out why the work-around was ineffective. The wireless power management was already OFF *before* I did the 'iwconfig .... power off' command. (I ran 'iwconfig' to get the essid and noticed power management was OFF). I ran the 'iwconfig .... power off' command anyway and, as you'd expect, it was ineffective because power management is off by default on my laptop.
FWIW, I tried enabling power management (iwconfig ... power on) and that did not help either. -- [HP 2133 MiniNote laptop] Unexpected and unrecoverable wireless disconnect with B43 driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331952 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
