Gionn, as per the release notes from https://www.asus.com/Tower- PCs/M51AD/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available (0802). When you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does this improve the situation?
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. Also, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible: 1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect): sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not. 3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream-4.7-rc2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577111 Title: RTL8821AE wireless adapter sporadically stuck (rtl8821ae module) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi, this is affecting me from 14.04, and new kernel in 16.04 didn't help, so I decided to open this issue.
