Hi,
I've had this problem since november 2013 when I bought the laptop.
With Ubuntu 13.10 at least modprobe and modprobe -r used to work.
With Ubuntu 14.04 the connection drops even more often and only restart helps (most of the times).
All drivers I found origin from the released by RealTek. They seem to have a bug which no one still cannot find and fix.

Lenovo ThinkPad S540
Ubuntu 14.04
