I'm having the same problem however I'm using an Atheros ath9 wireless
card. It works for a day and then next day I lose connectivity. The wifi
card continues loaded with a static IP Address assigned to it but I
cannot connect to anything.

I tried to whitelist ath_pci on /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf
but the problem still persists. Also yesterday I enabled the ubuntu
backports on my software sources but so far no kernel updates.

I live in Australia and the domain is correct as far as the syslog
messages are concerned:
