[Bug 1420766] [NEW] USB Wifi drops out every 2 minutes, needs disconnecting / reconnecting to work for a further 2 minutes

 

Public bug reported:

Wifi says it's connected at all times but the internet drops out and
nothing connects on WLAN or the internet.

Every 2 minutes, I disconnect and reconnect to make it work again but it
soon drops out again.

Recently upgraded from Ubuntu 11 where everything worked with 3rd party
drivers that don't work with current version.

ALl help gratefully received.
