I'm running a fresh install off ubuntu 14.04 and using the following wifi adpter:
lsusb
Bus 003 Device 005: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter
My connection is really unstable a disconnects after a couple of minutes. Then I need to disable the wifi and re-activate it.
Here is some more info (based on this issues: wifi keeps droping every minute on Ubuntu 12.04)
