Comment 11 for bug 548992

I also have this same issue on 10.04 beta, 2.6.32-21-generic. In fact, I have found wireless to be horrible in lucid. Not only does the connection drop and reconnect very frequently, sometimes it won't connect at all with dhcp. In that case, the essid gets mangled. I can get around that issue by manually assigning an address. I have never gotten wicd to connect at all, so am using network-manger. I hope this issues are resolved before the production release or there will be a lot of unhappy folks.
