Public bug reported: Essentially, sometimes my Wi-FI simply stops functioning without disconnecting from the network - I am unable to access any Internet pages and all my downloading files are stuck - this, obviously, is an undesired effect caused by a bug, and I wish to browse Internet normally without any interference. The only workaround regarding the effect of this bug is reconnecting to the Wi-Fi network or restarting the computer - however, the bug usually appears in chain - this means that reconnecting or restarting usually will give me my Internet access only for a couple of seconds or minutes until I lose it again due to same issue.
This bug appears frequently under normal workflow, but it especially common whenever I attempt to download large (1GB+) files either via direct download or BitTorrent client. This bug is present in earlier versions of Ubuntu(13.10, 14.04) and actually did affect other distributions as well but it appears that it is much less severe in 14.10 - an Ubuntu version I currently report this bug from. Default 14.10 kernel was not changed. I have made slight changes in /usr/lib/pm- utils/power.d/wireless(disabled Wi-Fi power savings) and /etc/pm/config.d/blacklist(blacklisted Wi-Fi power management) in order to lessen the outcome of this bug but I do not think that it have changed much and bug was present in the same form even before I have made those changes.
