There are lots of discussions like this online: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2599544 where it happens with enterprise and home networks alike.
in our case Apple didn't hesitate to tell us to go to 4.3. I was in the same location witha pre-4.3 iPad for almost 24 hours and couldn't get the condition to repeat on our standards-based WLAN, nor did it happen again to the users that initially complained. It's always fun when toy-quality wireless devices hit the enterprise WLAN (he said rather sarcastically). I do know that I would have a very hard time justifying making network changes to an otherwise stable enterprise WLAN when the only devices to have problems out of thousands of clients are a few iPads and iPhones.

We had this problem with a few of our WAN sites. We did not figure out the problem as oppose to a temp fix. We found that when the following conditions existed, the iPads would reboot. - iPads had to be on version 4.2 - WiSM code 6.0.188.0 - VPN involved I moved the WAN ap's over to older code (MESH code 4.2.176.51M) and this fixed the problem. We have plenty of iPads that were on the 4.2 iOS and the 6.0 code on campus (no VPN involved) and did not have any problems. I have not been to the WAN sites since the 4.3 iOS came out so I have not been able to check and see if it resolved any problems.

We are hearing reports of this, and of course they are connected to our network when it is happening, so it is the network causing it. Just wondering if anyone else has heard this.
