Thanks Larry,
I do the regular Ubuntu updates and distro upgrades, therefore much
software is changed. I cannot tell when the issue started because I have
WPA at work and I don't bring my laptop often.
Also, being at work, I cannot do anything to the access point. But how
could this stop my connection after a few minutes? Other people use it
without problems.
As for using the Windows driver, although I dislike MS too, I always had a
better experience with ndiswrapper over bcm43xx.
I also have seen a few threads on the Ubuntu forums about this or similar
problems.
