After I lose my wireless signal, I can't connect to a network again in ubuntu 10.10

Question

I'm running ubuntu 10.10, in a Gateway M-6750. I can't get my wireless to work properly.

After I lose my wireless signal, I can't connect to a network again. I have to restart my computer or, remove the ndiswrapper module and insert it again so that I can connect to the network again.

I do this with:

sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

Also, there are sometimes when the computer freezes up when trying to search for a signal.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Answer 1

Have you considered upgrading to something....newer? Such as 12.04? I suspect such bugs are probably stomped.
