[Bug 1378180] Re: wifi constantly gets disconnected = wpa_supplicant[...]: wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED

 

Vish: You probably don't need any headers packages, only the linux-image
package for your architecture. If you do need the headers (e.g. for dkms
modules) then you need to make sure you grab both the linux-
header*_all.deb file in addition to the one for your architecture.

However I'd suggest starting with 3.17 instead of 3.14. If it's not
fixed in 3.17 then it likely isn't fixed in 3.14 either, and if it is
fixed in 3.17 we can start hunting for the fix. You can get the 3.17
build from here:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.17-utopic/

(Note that it doesn't matter if it says trusty or utopic in the name,
that simply describes which version the configuration and packaging were
based on. You can easily install -utopic mainline builds on trusty.)

Title:
  wifi constantly gets disconnected = wpa_supplicant[...]: wlan0: CTRL-
  EVENT-DISCONNECTED

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The wifi connection repeatedly gets disconnected.
  At times, the connection disconnects and does not reconnect automatically. Disabling the wifi and reenabling it or either choosing the network are the only way to reconnect.
  If the net is being used, while streaming videos or other downloads, the disconnects are more frequent.
