When I installed Ubuntu I realized that I cannot connect to my home Wi-Fi at all, though wired connection worked perfectly. After a bit of googling I followed these instructions and it worked!

However, now my notebook uses my Wi-Fi for 5 minutes maximum. After that connection is lost. I need to reconnect again by switching off and on Enable Wi-Fi panel.

There was not such problem in Windows and all my devices works well with this wireless network.

If I should attach some output results from Terminal, please let me know, as I really do not know which commands to run.

UPDATE: wireless info

I'm using:

  • When exactly did you download the zip archive with the source code and installer? It may be worth to try a newer or older release. It would also be easier if you installed the driver with sudo make dkms instead of ./install (requires the dmks package but re-compiles the driver for every newly installed kernel). – David Foerster Aug 15 '16 at 07:21
  • @DavidFoerster It was a week ago, when I installed drivers again after OS update as they were lost. Hmm. the dkms does not work. However, I followed these instructions, but replaced last string with sudo make dkms. Here is what I got. Maybe I should use --force flag on that? – Z. Zorg Aug 15 '16 at 11:47
  • No, I don't think you should try --force. The messages mean that the driver is already included in Ubuntu's stock kernel and you shouldn't need to install any additional driver for that device. – David Foerster Aug 16 '16 at 10:00
  • Hi @Z.Zorg, did you solve your problem? I have the same issue. This is related, but as somebody commented there, I have to repeat the process every now and then :/ – Valentin_Ștefan Mar 26 '19 at 18:54
