I have a MacBook Pro (early 2010 model), and I've been having problems with the network connection periodically stopping. The wireless network indicator shows that the signal is at full strength (it should be, the router is less that 2 meters from me), but I'm unable to access anything on the network.
None of the other computers are experiencing a problem.
The connection will be fine from 5 minutes to 12 hours, but it will stop. I'm not even sure how to diagnose the problem to be honest. While I'm not a beginner, I do struggle when I get into cli.
The wireless connection was fine when I ran OSX and Windows 7 on this machine, but now that I've moved to Ubuntu I've started to have a problem.
Any help, additional information request, or advice on how to diagnose the problem are gratefully received.
I tracked my wireless card version down to: "Broadcom BCM4322", but the drivers appear to be the correct ones, so other than updating (which i've done) I don't know how else to proceed with that line.
Edit: At the request of @peach heres some more information.
Kernal version:
uname -r: 3.0.0-16-generic
My connection froze at 13:07, and then 3minutes later, this appeared:
