Public bug reported: A few minutes after booting my Samsung R580 laptop, the Wi-Fi disconnects and it fails to reconnect until I restart the machine. This happens with all the 64 bit versions of Ubuntu I tried, from 14.04 to 15.10. With the 32 bit versions, everything runs perfectly. No loss of connection at all, even after 48 hours in a row.
Here is the output of iwconfig after loss of connexion: eth7 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions. wlan6 802.11bgn ESSID:"JeLisVosCourriels" Nickname:"rtl8192E" Mode:Managed Frequency=2.417 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:19.5 Mb/s Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=10/100 Signal level=0 dBm Noise level=-100 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: linux-image-4.2.0-19-generic 4.2.0-19.23 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-19.23-generic 4.2.6 Uname: Linux 4.2.0-19-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: gilbert 3115 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: gilbert 3115 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Fri Dec 11 09:27:18 2015 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=e19f92d5-541f-412f-b5b0-7d97bfa1b7ec InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-12-03 (7 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" - Release amd64 (20141022.1) MachineType: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
