[Bug 1431924] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 in a HP Pavilion g6 with wireless Ralink RT5390 disconnects

 

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.

Title:
  Ubuntu 14.04 in a HP Pavilion g6 with wireless Ralink RT5390
  disconnects

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The problem is that after several minutes of been connected by
  wireless it suddenly just disconnects appearing the meesage:

  <Now you are offline>

  By restarting the adapter, the computer or the network settings
  (several times) the connection is reestablished, sometimes.

  I have tried different drivers and updates for this card but the
  problem persists since I installed Ubuntu 5 months ago. Further
  information about the computer and the connection
