I can confirm similar problems of dropped connections. It has been working stable for 1 year on Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). Upgraded to 12.04.1 and I now have intermittent problems. Network card is RTL8191SEvA and the native driver loaded is rt8192SE. Is there an upstream fix for this ? If I

Hi, while helping someone else with this very same issue I found this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1834478 Can someone test with realtek's latest driver and confirm if that works? Then it would be a matter of asking for this driver to be available via the hardware drivers tools,

Looks like a driver issue. I sanitized the instructions from several sources, the person I was helping reported apparent initial success with the Realtek driver built+installed manually: 1) Make sure the system is up to date and development tools are installed: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get

Since moving from 10.04 to 12.04 (via a clean install), I'm seeing symptoms similar to what's reported by the original poster. The WiFi connection frequently roams from one AP to another (even though the laptop has not been moved), and ultimately it fails to connect at all. If I move to a

Nothing is looking wrong in /var/log/syslog. What's peculiar though is that the whole scan isn't shown. Could you run 'sudo iw dev wlan0 scan' and attach the results here? It seems as though the F4:... AP is the one that gets in scan results, so far. This might be a kernel issue. -- You

Also please see the attached screenshot. It shows how this stubborn computer insists on connecting to the AP which is at least 7 meters away with 2 floors and a few walls in between. But strangely, before I setup the 10.0.0.1 connection it cannot connect to that AP successfully... ** Attachment

NM will roam automatically if there is a network with a higher signal level, once the difference passes a particular point. Perhaps the closest AP is just prone to more interference, and setup on a busy channel? Regardless, if it's location-related, it's mostly a matter of signal levels and

Please allow me a few days then do this test. I am now trying another trick which seems solved the issue, but I need a few more days to test. What I did is that I setup 2 network connections, with same SSID, but different BSSID, now it can connect to the nearby AP. I will do your test after
