Desktop Loosing Wireless Connection
 
I have a Debian headless desktop with a wireless card "wlp2s10". When I leave it on for some time it looses connection to my router. Where do I start with fixing this?

Don't know if this still holds true, but for some wireless hardware deices supported by the ath5k, users have found that loading the driver with the 'nohwcrypt=1' option can be of benefit. This can be done by creating a custom file eg /etc/modprobe.d/ath5k.conf with the following entry
Code:

options ath5k nohwcrypt=1
It will take effect next boot.
