A while back, my wifi connection kept dropping. I had to keep re-booting Ubuntu 14.04 to try and get my wifi connection back. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X220T laptop with Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 wifi card. I'm using a WPA2 connection.

I tried disabling the N mode of the wifi card, as detailed in this link: http://askubuntu.com/questions/457729/ubuntu-14-04-wireless-constantly-disconnects

I also tried killing wpa_supplicant as detailed here in this bug report.

Eventually, I upgraded my Linux kernel from 3.13 to 3.16 (the v3.16 kernel is available on Ubuntu 14.04.2) and that mostly fixed my wifi issues. I've upgraded to the 3.19 kernel this week and my wifi seems to be working on this kernel as well.
