"to transfer an 8 GB file from the suspected machine to locally wired server (rsync, nfs, anything will do). At best, the transfer will stall at around 5GB, when you then realize the wireless connection no longer works. To recover from that situation there are several approaches (from reselecting the given connection on NetworkManager to a full restart), that you will have to resort according to the phase of the moon or the spin of the electrons around."
I am testing this. 800 MB uploaded to the server so far. I have System Log Viewer opened. When wifi die I'll check for new messages.
