Hello,

I updated squeeze yesterday with from my perspective unrelated packages:

and today I have trouble with wireless on my laptop. It works for a few
seconds, then the connection is lost.

I have an Intel networking chip:

02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2]
Network Connection (rev 05)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation IBM ThinkPad R50e
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
Memory at c0210000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2
Kernel driver in use: ipw2200

In syslog I see these entries:

Updated packages (mostly multimedia based packages) doesn't look related
to the wireless driver :-?

and today I have trouble with wireless on my laptop. It works for a few

Here it when disconnects and then restarts the connection again...

I would try to use another manager for the wifi interface, that is, if
for example you are using now wicd, try with network-manager or viceversa.
