Well, i think many of the subscribed users are back on Windows because of the problems with the driver. At least i am, most of the time. I was right on the way buying a new wifi card for my ThinkPad, but then i found out that the only one that was accepted by the BIOS has disconnect problems too (Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000).

I'm wondering that realtek is so silent. Did they ever say something what the problem could be with this card?

By the way, here is the URL for the mainline kernel: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

Just download and install the one you want, like:

sudo dpkg -i linux-image-3.11.0-031100rc6-generic_3.11.0-031100rc6.201308181835_amd64.deb

reboot

to uninstall: sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.11.0-031100rc6.....

Remember, you can use the TAB key to complete the commands an package names.
