[Bug 1577111] [NEW] RTL8821AE wireless adapter sporadically stuck (rtl8821ae module)

 

Public bug reported:

Hi,

this is affecting me from 14.04, and new kernel in 16.04 didn't help, so
I decided to open this issue.

I've tried the following options:

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8821ae.conf
options rtl8821ae ips=0 fwlps=0 swlps=1 debug=5 msi=0

without any luck.

I connect to a wireless network, works for a few minutes, then traffic
completely stop for a few minutes, then everything works again, for
another random amount of minutes.
