Public bug reported: Similar to but 1312358, the connection gets cut everytime I'm downloading a big file or a group of big files. The indicator in network manager appears connected but I can't access any site until the wifi connection is restarted. Observed in Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10. I've tried with the solution in the aforementioned bug but I get this:
$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 power on Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.
