I tested several of the upstream kernels, but none of them solved the
problem. Just recently I updated all the packages and between them one
update to the kernel 3.13.0-48-generic, I think it solved the problem.
Yesterday I was connected for more than 4 hour and today for almost 6
hours without problems.

I have tracked the problem about the unstability, I'm not sure what all
the lines mean but what I can see is that the network supplier changes
continuously and Ubuntu was unable to follow these changes in some
point.

Now is fine, I can see that everytime that the adapter changes Ubuntu
succesfully renew the conection.

Thank you for all the help.
