piovisqui, as per http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P6X58DE/#support an update is available for your BIOS (0803). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-0803 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995704 Title: 168c:0023 Atheros wlan interface does not stay connected on Ubuntu 12.04 Status in The Linux Kernel: Incomplete Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My wlan network card connection stays online for only one minute connecting to my D-Link G640T and Thomson Technicolor TG580v2.
