Public bug reported: Using kernel 3.16 the wireless connections on 802.11n networks are very unstable and they fail after few minutes. Even if the NetworkManager says that it is still connected, nothing works and I have to manually disconnect and connect again. And so on.
The problem was not present in kernel 3.14 (i.e. in Ubuntu 14.04) and seems to be resolved in 3.18-rc5, even if in this case the connections seem to be slower (but stable). The solution (or better, the workaround) that has been proposed in askubuntu does not work for me ( http://askubuntu.com/questions/544074 /unstable-wireless-in-ubuntu-14-10 ). I have no problem with older wifi standard: if I set my router to not use the 11n standard, it works perfectly.
