Comment 9 for bug 567961

Mouxbar motivated me to comment on this bug again. I have the following observations:

1) the problem is not solved for me by using the linux-backports-modules-wireless, but it does become less frequent.

2) I've the two backports (-21 and -22) seem about the same

3) I think this is something power related (i.e. tx-power.) I say that because (and don't laugh at this anecdotal evidence) I live right beside a train line, and in addition to heavy traffice (e.g. youtube) the other thing that seems to correlate with wireless drops is trains going by. I suspect they are using some kind of 2.4GHz wireless gear on the trains which interfere with wifi. This was never a problem before 10.04. I note that 10.04 includes the following in the relase notes: "Setting wireless regulatory domain via module option no longer supported". I wonder if this is related
