sounds like a kernel bug (oh, gosh, lord have mercy on us)

Zappy, can you please test the Ubuntu mainline kernel and see if you can
reproduce it there?

** Package changed: network-manager (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)

Title:
  wlan0 gets disconnected randomly and can not reconnect

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  At random times, several time sper day after upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04, my wireless connection gets disconnected and the system log shows:
  May  2 13:17:01 Baba-Yaga CRON[18205]: (root) CMD (   cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)
  May  2 13:40:03 Baba-Yaga wpa_supplicant[1553]: wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=d4:ca:6d:57:91:d1 reason=0
  May  2 13:40:03 Baba-Yaga NetworkManager[1200]: <info> (wlan0): roamed from BSSID D4:CA:6D:57:91:D1 (Host) to (none) ((none))
  May  2 13:40:03 Baba-Yaga NetworkManager[1200]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: completed -> disconnected
  May  2 13:40:03 Baba-Yaga wpa_supplicant[1553]: wlan0: Reject scan trigger since one is already pending
  May  2 13:40:03 Baba-Yaga wpa_supplicant[1553]: wlan0: Failed to initiate AP scan

  At this point, I will never be able to reconnect to the access point
  and after several attempts, the wirless connection is removed from the
  NetworkManager applet and the only way to get the wirless connection
  back, is to shut down the machine, turn it back on and let it boot.
  Just doing a warm reboot will not resolve the issue in many cases. A
  cold reboot always will.

  This is a Realtek USB based WiFi device and I have used it now for a
  few years without issues. Moving the WiFi device to a Windows PC shows
  that it works as intended and is never disconnecting or losing
  connection in any way.
