Bug Description
Since I upgraded to Kubuntu 12.04 I started to experience this issue: after some hours of inactivity of my desktop, network connection suddenly disappears. This means that the server is not reachable anymore from the network. By inactivity I mean direct user input: connection sometimes stops when streaming data to the network.
After this happens, plugging in the mouse or simply pressing any button on the keyboard makes the screen turn on (of course this is correct) and the system is reachable again on the network.
[Ignore apport collection 9-29 - they're the wrong machine!]

I attach my dmesg output. It can be clearly seen that no interaction is logged for some time and at a certain point the USB mouse was plugged in at the end. That is when the connection came up again.
