Broadcom 570x Gigabit Integrated Controller problems...

Does anyone else have bought a laptop XPS M170 and have problems with their network connection?
I saw a lot of people having problems with the Broadcom 570x Gigabit Integrated Controller and the same issue I have -> losing the network connection for a few seconds...
 
Does anyone have an idea what to do? I reinstalled the latest (the same it was before) driver but it only solved the problems for 45min... I still have problems with my connection every 2-3 sometimes 5-7min. This is really unacceptable.. and want to know if someone had the same problem and was able to solve it?
 
Regards.

    I don't have this problem in my XPS (gen1). Try disabling all power management features in the Device Manager. I don't let mine shut off device to conserve power. I uncheck the power management for all NICs (wired & wireless), and USB Root Hubs. This might help.
