Bug Description

on lucid beta 1 my connection drops completely for approx a minute or degrades to 1 mbit/s

this may be related to http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18735 and/or http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574526 which seem to make wpa2 responsible for the problem...

kern.log is flooded with "free more than tfds_in_queue" messages

Confirmed, it has DOS proportions here. My kern.log is already at 700MB and rsyslog is taking nearly one core at full CPU.

I am preparing a test kernel for the message issue. This probably does not fix any continuous drops and reconnects. Those I would continue on https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/544254 to keep things separated.
