Hello everyone,
I can confirm that I am affected by this bug as well. It is extremely easy to reproduce and it makes the wireless connection all but unusable.
I have run the apport-collect command suggested above and the report should be attached to this bug now. Since the 10.04 LTS is so close now I have marked this as regression-release. I haven't seen this bug with the latest 2.6.31 kernel found in 9.10, or with any other kernels in previous distributions. This behavior started occurring when I upgraded to 10.04 RC three days ago.
In my case, it appears that the bug manifests whenever there is high traffic over the wireless connection, but it is more prevalent when said traffic is generated by streaming video within a browser (I've tried with YouTube and a number of other streaming video websites). Most of the times, the adapter will disconnect within 30 seconds of starting streaming and sometimes it will reconnect immediately afterwards. In other cases, this will take longer to reconnect (ahem, I haven't waited more than a minute or so before disabling and re-enabling the adapter, which seems to speed up the reconnecting process).
When the adapter disconnects, the kernel log shows the messages attached to this post. Note that this particular occurrence resulted in a quick reconnection, but this didn't make it any less annoying.
