Title:
  Network Manager sets powersave on by default, thus making many WiFi
  connections unreliable

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  As the headline says. On the support fora that I frequent, many people
  report unstable and unreliable WiFi connections because of this. In
  those cases, when power management for the WiFi chipset is turned off,
  the connection immediately improves a lot.

  Therefore the default for WiFi power management should be "off", non
  "on".

  Workaround for those who don't want to wait for the fix:
  sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf

  Reboot.

  When there's no such .conf file yet:
  sudo touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-off.conf

  echo "[connection]" | sudo tee /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-
  wifi-powersave-off.conf

  echo "wifi.powersave = 2" | sudo tee -a
  /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-off.conf

  Reboot.
