When connection to Internet fails...
 

I have a laptop running Ubuntu. Sometimes, during long sessions, my
computer automatically releases the wireless connection. When I try to
connect again, it is not able to.

My current solution is to restart the computer or to do sudo
/etc/init.d/gdm restart.

Is there any other service that I can restart that will just restart the
internet connection interface (my goal is fix the problem without losing
my session when this happens)?

Thanks,
Grasswistle

Sometimes restarting NetworkManager helps. On Lucid
sudo service network-manager restart
should do this. IIRC, on older Ubuntu releases the service's name may be
different - "NetworkManager" or similar.

Try:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

====
Note for the 'service'/upstart folks:
$ sudo service networking restart
restart: Unknown instance:

but:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

ssh stop/waiting
ssh start/running, process 5152
