Having the same issue here as well (although I'm on Arch with 3.16 kernel). Interestingly, on the same computer running Mint (3.13 kernel), there is no issue. With 3.16 kernel, RT61PCI works for some minutes, then disconnects, and unable to reconnect again.
Note: both distro's use version 2.3.0 of RT61PCI. dmesg on 3.16 kernel: ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00queue_flush_queue: Warning - Queue 0 failed to flush -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1393744 Title: 1814:0301 RT2x00/rt61pci disconnects since update to 15.04 Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: lsb_release -rd :Description: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch) Release: 15.04 wi-fi disconnects and unable to reconnect since updates on 13-11-2014.
