Christopher,

Do you have any reason to believe that 3.7-rc4 may have a fix?

Please don't misunderstand me - I *want* to test and assist where possible
- but I'm hearing a boy cry wolf over and over. I've tested many new
kernels over the last few months. Unless a new kernel has a patch that is
specifically related to the issue, then requesting a new kernel test is at
best deluded optimism, and at worst is a delaying tactic. Either way, it
doesn't help.

I can add some further data - I have purchased a new wireless router (for
better coverage & bandwidth) and this disconnect problem still happens. 46
times between 12am and 8am this morning. The new router is an Asus RT-N66U.

I am going to purchase a different PCIe wireless card and test that - but
that's still a week or so away.

I will test 3.7-rc4 and report back. But some feedback on relevant patches
would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Justin.
