This wifi card was working for me with Ubuntu 12.04 for several years before flawlessly. Now I installed Linux Mint based on Ubuntu 14.04 and it is now randomly disconnecting. When it disconnects I disable wireless in the NM applet and enable it again and wifi reconnects. Logs regarding the disconnect and the reconnect are attached to the report. The disconnect happens 10 to 60 minutes after it was connected or reconnected.
