This is my setup:
RELEASE=16
CODENAME=petra
EDITION="Cinnamon 64-bit"
DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 16 Petra"
DESKTOP=Gnome
TOOLKIT=GTK
NEW_FEATURES_URL=http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_petra_cinn ... atsnew.php
RELEASE_NOTES_URL=http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_petra_cinnamon.php
USER_GUIDE_URL=http://www.linuxmint.com/documentation.php
GRUB_TITLE=Linux Mint 16 Cinnamon 64-bit
======
Cisco-Linksys WUSB600N Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter
======
The issue is that my USB Network Adapter keeps disconnecting after 5-10 min of use, especially when watching online content, or downloading files (e.g., a show on abc.com). It takes quite a bit longer to disconnect when doing other Internet activity (posting in forum, generic surfing, etc.).
I googled around but am at a loss on how to solve this - it is working, albeit intermittently. It was working fine on my Windows Vista box, but men I moved to Mint 16, it seems to have issues. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thank you in advance.
Even though the below was suggested for wireless cards only, I am posting the information in case it helps.
