Thanks. Some cards (especially RealTek) don't play well. Intermittent, random disconnects. There are 1000s of thread just on linuxmint.com and ubuntuforums.org forums. I have tried some tweaks like wireless card power management, etc.
This is is my unanswered post there posted few months ago http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=141939
Look at that forum if you want, there are many similar ones, some solved somehow, many not.
If there are any ideas we can split this off to new thread.
