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

I don't want to say it, but now that I am running 4.4.0-28-generic it looks more stable, I see on the changelog some related changes:

- rtlwifi: rtl8723be: Add antenna select module parameter
- rtlwifi: btcoexist: Implement antenna selection
- rtlwifi: Fix logic error in enter/exit power-save mode
- rtlwifi: pci: use dev_kfree_skb_irq instead of kfree_skb in rtl_pci_reset_trx_ring

Will update if I am just feeling lucky today.

Title:
  RTL8821AE wireless adapter sporadically stuck (rtl8821ae module)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
