I found a fix. It deals with the drivers for various wireless hardware. I found this site very useful: Go to the #2 answer on this thread: http://askubuntu.com/questions/377454/wifi-dropping-every-20-mins I went to this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported Then to here to find I have a RealTek https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported then to here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsRealTek#PCI Then here: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=1&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true got the new driver and instructions here: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/RedirectFTPSite.aspx?SiteID=2&DownTypeID=3&DownID=1030&PFid=1&Conn=5&FTPPath=ftp%3a%2f%2f58.211.24.153%2fcn%2fwlan%2frtl8187L_linux_1041%5b1%5d.0209.2012.tar.gz
I downloaded the OEM driver, installed an rebooted. It dropped once and after re-rebooting, it seems to work fine. It appears the problem is that the computer supplied driver for wifi and the OEM driver differ and that may possibly be the problem. This is a difficult bug to find and fix. I really hope that helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945379 Title: 168c:002b Wireless connection randomly drops -- ath9k To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/945379/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
