Just installed a fresh Ubuntu 12.10 64bit on my laptop, run the update manager, restarted and suddenly I can't use my wifi anymore.

Ubuntu software center installed automatically the wifi additional driver as you can see in my screenshot.

Additional drivers and wifi issue

If I mark the option "Do not use the device" and apply changes, restarting Ubuntu my wifi is back and I can use it.

If I run iwconfig my terminal is showing this iwconfig

Now if I use Ubuntu for more than 20 minutes surfing the web my wifi it keeps to be connected but I don't receive any signal from it. Any page I try to open it simply don't open (just waiting icon). If I disconnect my wifi and connect it again, same issue, it doesn't work. The only way to make it work again is to restart Ubuntu. And the same story it happens again after aprox. 20, 30 minutes.

WIFI device details: 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4727] (rev 01)

Thanks,

Dave
