Surface Pro wifi not working consistantly

Hey - I installed Ubuntu 14.10 on my Surface Pro first generation. Everything seems to be working fine except for the wireless connection - which will work fine for some random (or so it seems) period of time and then disconnect and not be able to reconnect unless I restart the machine.

I have no idea how to go about fixing this - and I have searched and found similar issues but none that provide fixes that solve the problem
