Comment 327 for bug 621265

Ever since I updated to latest security update I couldn't use the wireless compat modules from http://wireless.kernel.org/. So, with the regular modules, If I watch a video from an NFS mount on my network, I'll loose the wireless connection. I have to disable and then re-enable wireless to gain a working connection again just to loose it in a minute or two. Same happens with the linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.36-maverick-generic.

As a workaround I add "radeon.modeset=0" the the kernel I'm loading on grub. That makes the connection pretty dam stable, so far no wireless connection lost, event watching that video from the NFS mount.
