I finally fixed this problem by compiling and installing the latest
drivers from Linux Wireless in Ubuntu 12.04, in my case the "compat-
wireless-3.5.1-1-snpc.tar.bz2" package:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/
One needs the header files for his kernel and the build-essentials
package. I recommend also to run the script "driver-select" with the
option rtlwifi before compiling because one doesn't need the other
drivers and it reduces building time:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential
tar jvxf compat-wireless-3.5.1-1-snpc.tar.bz2
cd compat-wireless-3.5.1-1-snpc
./scripts/driver-select rtlwifi
make
sudo make install
But the downside is you have to rebuild the driver after every kernel
update.
I'm running the driver for two days now with excessive closing and
opening the lid and didn't get any disconnects.
