Just to throw into the mix, I too am experiencing the same issue. I get at least 1 disconnect a day. I now have a bash script called "restart_rtl8187", here's it's contents:
#!/bin/bash echo "Restarting Network ..." sudo rmmod rtl8187 echo "Successfully deactivated RTL8187" sleep 5 sudo modprobe rtl8187 sleep 5 echo "Successfully activated RTL8187" sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher restart echo "Network Restarted, please wait for Network-Manager to initialize." My wireless device is an integrated Realtek RTL8187 USB built into my laptop. This problem appears to manifest when there is a higher volume of traffic going through the card, e.g. BitTorrent, Update Manager downloads, Video Streaming etc. It seems to behave itself for casual use, like web browsing and email usage. I hope this helps in identifying and eliminating this issue once and for all. ** Attachment added: "dmesg.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15057300/dmesg.txt -- rtl8187 drops connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182473 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
