Did a bit more searching and found that this problem is caused by wireless powersave settings. The following article describes the situation well and offers a workaround to disable wireless powersave: http://uselessuseofcat.com/?p=67
So, it looks like an overly aggressive powersave level is being used for this chipset...it would also be nice to have a GUI to configure this powersave setting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/681445 Title: wireless connection unstable -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
