Losing Wi-Fi connection ability at times with updated driver ?

Asked by Bill

 New user to Ubuntu system, I installed the latest version of Ubuntu 13.04 AMD64 and updated my wireless network Driver for this system. Than I was able to set up wireless connection and gain access to internet after driver update, but sometimes it drops this internet connection and I may have to shut down system to regain this ability, for it to pick it back up again. I have a good wireless signal that is not the problem ? { The changes in this system version in recent years, not sure on this system software } been through to many operations and med's to care to keep up with every-bodies system software changes { Mac , Linux , Windows on so on ? }

I located other Sudo list info, but cannot locate this info { sudo lshw -C network; uname -a; lsb_release -a; sudo rfkill list; sudo dmidecode -t 1 } for output ? How to obtain this info ?

Hi Bill,

To get the info Andrew is requesting you need to open a terminal, either search for it in the dash or press ctrl+alt+t
Once you have a terminal simply copy and paste the command `sudo lshw -C network; uname -a; lsb_release -a; sudo rfkill list; sudo dmidecode -t 1` without the quotes into the terminal and press enter. This will produce a few lines of debugging info that we can use to help with the situation, copy all of it and paste it into a comment here on launchpad.

Good Luck,
Joseph Matheney

Could try:

echo "options rtl8192ce ips= 0 fwlps=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/wififix.conf > /dev/null

Reboot to test.
