"Mee too" but with a strange coincidence: I just purchased a carl9170 based USB wifi adapter to replace a different wifi adapter (with a different driver) that was suffering from a similar, if not the exact same, issue.
ASUS USB-N11, ralink rt2800usb, lsusb: Bus 001 Device 055: ID 1761:0b05 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. (wrong ID) 802.11n Network Adapter (wrong ID - swapped vendor and device) src: /usr/src/linux-source-3.2.0/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800usb.c people having the issue with rt2800: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu%2012.04%20rt2800usb%20stalls (to which the chorus of responses is similarly "nohwcrypt=1" which doesn't work and "disable N on your router" - well, would be nice to not live with other people, wouldn't it) Neither nohwcrypt=1 or noht=1 have much effect for me. Wifi AP is an ASUS RT-N66U, carl9170 device is Airlive X.USB which ironically I purchased because it's listed on the kernel.org site as a paragon of wifi ease. http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971728 Title: 0cf3:1002 carl9170 driver - network connection breaks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/971728/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
