Public bug reported: the wifi connection is really unstable, unreliable and very slow. ubuntu uses the rt2800pci driver for accessing the RT2860 wifi chipset. This driver causes the instability. For full detail see this post.: http://michael-peeters.blogspot.com/2011/06/fixing-rt2860-wifi-chipset-under-ubuntu.html I could replicate the problem and the solution on a asus eeepc 901.
