Hello=0A=
=0A=
Just recently upgraded to 8.1 and installed the 'urtw' driver for my Netgea=
r WG111v3 USB WLAN card. All fine=2C systems boots=2C WLAN card gets IP add=
ress=2C network runs. And then suddenly network connection breaks down. And=
 never recovers. Only reboot helps.=0A=
=0A=
Apparently the WLAN connection moves from 'status: associated' to 'status: =
no carrier' and stays stuck there.=0A=
=0A=
Is there any way to prevent this? (WLAN signal is OK=2C put the box next to=
 the AP to test.)=0A=
=0A=
Or=2C can you recommend a PCI/PCIe card that is proven to work reliably?=0A=
