Public bug reported:

Essentially, sometimes my Wi-FI simply stops functioning without
disconnecting from the network - I am unable to access any Internet
pages and all my downloading files are stuck - this, obviously, is an
undesired effect caused by a bug, and I wish to browse Internet normally
without any interference. The only workaround regarding the effect of
this bug is reconnecting to the Wi-Fi network or restarting the computer
- however, the bug usually appears in chain - this means that
reconnecting or restarting usually will give me my Internet access only
for a couple of seconds or minutes until I lose it again due to same
issue.

This bug appears frequently under normal workflow, but it especially
common whenever I attempt to download large (1GB+) files either via
direct download or BitTorrent client. This bug is present in earlier
versions of Ubuntu(13.10, 14.04) and actually did affect other
distributions as well but it appears that it is much less severe in
14.10 - an Ubuntu version I currently report this bug from. Default
14.10 kernel was not changed. I have made slight changes in /usr/lib/pm-
utils/power.d/wireless(disabled Wi-Fi power savings) and
/etc/pm/config.d/blacklist(blacklisted Wi-Fi power management) in order
to lessen the outcome of this bug but I do not think that it have
changed much and bug was present in the same form even before I have
made those changes.
