I have to reconnect every 5 minutes
#4
When it breaks

Code:
sudo dmesg | tail

should reveal all that is going on with wifi and why it dropped out.


Edit: I booted up my Pentium 3 IBM because I wanted to test out a suspect broken TP link wireless usb stick I have.
I wanted to make double sure before I threw it in the trash bin. Here are my readouts as a example.

Code:
Broken TP Link USB dongle readout

Because I booted with 2 different pieces of wifi hardware. wlan associates that with a 0,1,2,3, etc....... designation
for wifi access in Linux. It looks like that TP Link Wireless USB is headed for the trash bin.  Sad
