Hello,
I'm running a live install Kubuntu 16.04. I'm contemplating adding it as extra Ubuntu for experimenting, have a dual-boot system, Windows 10 on a 256 GB SSD, and Ubuntu Mate 16.04 on a 1 TB HDD. If the Kubuntu will be installed, it will be on the HDD. Otherwise, my system is Intel i7-2600 3.40GHz, 8GB RAM, and motherboard ASRock Z68 Pro3 Gen3. My Wifi card, probably what's most important in regards to my problem, is NetGear, Inc. WNA3100M(v1) Wireless-N 300 [Realtek RTL8192CU], according to the output of lsusb.
As the heading says, my wifi drops out, although Network Manager reports I have Internet connection, just after a few minutes. If I disconnect and connect again, it works fine, for a few minutes, again. The strange thing is, I have to enter the network security key, everytime I disconnect and connect again. In settings, there is a checkmark at Automatically connect to this network when it is available. If I edit the network settings, and try to save the security key, it is still not saved.
Recently, I installed the updates that were available, about 240 MB. It didn't fix this issue, but I think the sessions last a little longer than before, not sure though.
I know this has been reported as a bug. Some users have reported it affects full installations, as well as live installs. Has this bug been fixed in 16.04? Has it been fixed in 16.10?
