I tried several reinstallations from 14.04 - 15.04. versions, currently on 15.04. It seems until regular automatic updates take place it does not happen but after them, my wifi-connection (not just home but anywhere) keeps disconnecting and reconnecting which is extremely irritating.

I have gone through several topics on forum but could not fix it (sometime did not really understand what am i supposed to do since I am beginner in Ubuntu). Now I am almost positive it has to do something with the wi-fi drivers but since I am newbie in Ubuntu I am unable to come with the solution (what to check in terminal etc.)

Any insight on this matter is extremely appreciated.

I managed to follow something though which is:

sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree

sudo lshw -C network

It may have something with switched wl0 or wlan0 but honestly I may be completely wrong.... Modinfo on both does not show anything...
