complete noob here. I've just installed 12.04 LTS on an old computer, a Dell Dimension E520, and I'm trying to get my Asus N-13 adapter to work properly. When I plug it in, it connects like it should and it works for 5-10 minutes, but then it randomly stops working and I need to take it out and plug it back it to make it start working again. It never actually says it's lost the connection, it just stops working. If it helps, the light on the adapter is lit constantly, and when the adapter was working properly on a different computer, it would blink on and off sporadically.
I followed the advice on this thread: Connecting Asus USB-N13 Wireless Adapter
I installed the drivers and got the output specified, but the problem is persisting after rebooting. Please help AskUbuntu.
Here's my lsusb
