WIFI problem on Inspiron 3052
Hello
I have just bought the Inspiron 20-3052 with Ubuntu 14.04 and found that WIFI connection is unstable.
It works, but after some (random) time disconnects for unknown reason and the only way to guaranteed reconnect is to reboot. Search on Ubuntu forums returns that 14.04 has buggy WiFi driver. Unfortunately, I failed to find the solution. I tried the "nohwcrypt=1" option, but it looks no difference.
Can anyone help? I'm not guru in Linux

Don't a thing about Ubuntu, but when this happen in Windows, the user typically has to change power option settings which allow the PC to turn off the WiFi (or power it down to min power usage) after a certain period of time.
Don't know if such settings even exist in Ubuntu...

I have found that in Ubuntu 14.04 WiFi driver has a bug.
Now I'm using wired connection - it works stable.
May be somewhen WiFi driver will be fixed...
