Many people have started to upgrade their systems to Ubuntu 12.04 or above. I still insist on ubuntu10.4, my favorite. However, it is a little flawed, that is, the wireless connection is often dropped, but the network connection is still connected. The solution is very simple, that is, the Windows Wireless NIC Driver is used.

1. view your Nic model and download the corresponding NIC Driver for Windows.

Here, my wireless network card is ar9285. Download the driver for Windows.

2. Install ndisgtk

Sudo apt-Get install ndisgtk

3. After ndisgtk is successfully installed, open "Windows Wireless Driver" in "system-system management ". Click "install new driver ".

6. In the "currently installed Windows drivers" list, the driver for the wireless Nic is displayed, and the "Hardware existence: yes" is displayed ". Click "close ".
