I am new to Ubuntu and this forum. So, pardon me for my half baked knowledge.
I bought a Dell 3537 - preloaded with ubunbtu. After, upgrading to the latest updates, my wifi stopped working. I found https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/ker...able/v3.9-rc4/ and installed the driver. But, I observe the following:
Internet works absolutely fine for few minutes and then gets disconnected for few seconds. This keeps happening. I am pretty sure that connection to the wifi also is disconnected, but that isn't reflected in my network manager. My other laptop which runs Windows 7 doesn't have any issues connecting to the same network
I have tried to gather some information, which might help to solve my problem. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
