Comment 34 for bug 1173759

Symptoms and kit similar to original bug
HP pavillion g6 laptop, pre-installed windows 8 with dual boot Linux Mint 15, originally with kernel 3.8.0.3
Wireless works fine with good signal strength but drops out, requests new sign ins with weaker signal (works OK and reliably if booted in windows8)

Tried installing driver & patch as per #14 - still drops out
Adding blacklisting rt2800pci in etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, as suggested in various forums, causes total wireless failure

Upgrading to kernel 3.11.0.03 - still get drop outs, no improvement
