Wireless cuts out on Toshiba Satellite S7208
- by alecRN
I recently got a Toshiba Satellite L875-S7208 with Windows 7 preinstalled. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS dual boot to the same Windows partition.
However, usually 15 minutes or less after booting, the wifi connection dies.
Here's some hopefully relevant information:
