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.
