My connection keep dropping out: I have to click on my home wifi-network to disconnect and reconnect to the internet.

I tried to set MTU to 1500 as this post[1] suggest but my wireless keep dropping! [1] http://mylinuxramblings.wordpress.com/2011/10/16/how-to-stop-ubuntu-11-10-wireless-dropping-out/

The following question did not help me either: How do I stop my ethernet network connection from dropping?

My config is the following, ubuntu11.10 on HP Pavilion dv6, wifi using a WEP key:

$ lspci | grep -i eth

$ sudo lsmod | grep iwl
nothing

I am somewhat confused; from the output of lshw -C network it seems you were already using brcmsmac driver before the edit:

   product: BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller
   vendor: Broadcom Corporation
   [snip]
   configuration: broadcast=yes driver=brcmsmac [snip]

If it is so, you should try the binary Broadcom STA driver, which sometimes work quite better than this post suggests. You can install it using jockey-gtk (or Additional Drivers in menu) or with

sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

You can check what driver is being used from NetworkManager menu (under Connection information) or again with lshw - STA driver is called wl so lshw should return driver=wl (or wl0) instead of driver=brcmsmac. lsmod isn't much of use here because both drivers can be loaded.
