Hi Luis and others, what model of wireless chip do you have? If its an Intel Advanced-N 6235, please find my experience below of this problem SOLVED: I had exactly the same issue as described in this bug, with a 6235 wireless chip in my laptop. After a while, I became increasingly suspicious that it was a hardware issue, not software/kernel/driver. I bought a newer replacement 6235 chip, popped in my laptop, and the problem is now solved. This was on U 13.04, and I'm now on 14.04, and it has been running perfectly ever since. So there is definitely no problems with the kernel or driver in Ubuntu for this chip. I can't comment for other chips, but if you have a 6235 chip, I would strongly suggest purchasing a new replacement, fitting it, and you will find your issues resolved.

I had this bug with ubuntu 12.04 preinstalled by Dell. I had done a 13.04 fresh install to try to solve the problem, but with last kernel (3.8.0-13.23) after some time the connection eventually drops. I can't restore it without rebooting the entire system. It always happens with [] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: fail to flush all tx fifo queues in dmesg The network controller is: 01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24) I think this bug may be the same of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/836250 , but may also be unrelated because: 1) none of the solution proposed for #836250 works for me. I tried some iwlwifi module options (11n_disable=1, swcrypto=1, bt_coex_active=0) and turning off power managment (iwconfig wlan0 power off). 2) I seems to me that the patch from Intel attached in #836250 is already included in ubuntu 3.8.0-13.23 kernel. If it is correct, then that patch does not solve my problem.
