Now the problem is severe - so I checked in the dual OS Windows. There are lots of bug reports on this problem for Linux and apparently Intel is working on it. At that time, it happened infrequently, that too in Linux. The laptop - HP Probook 4410s - is 1.5 yrs old, the problem started appearing about 6 months ago. There are three other laptops in the home which work just fine and never drop connection. I have not made any changes in the last 12 months to my wireless network settings in the router or on the computer. I have tried using the latest version driver from the Intel site (13.4.0.9) and that has the same problem as the version that is the latest on my laptop vendors site (13.0.0.107). Sometimes the scan will not find it and all I can do is re-boot. I try scanning for hardware changes and sometimes that will find it and I can re-enable it. Sometimes when I go into device manager the adapter isn't even listed. Now it is disconnecting as often as every minute or two. A few weeks ago it was disconnecting one or two times a day. I go into device manager and disable the adapter and re-enable it and it works fine for a bit and then disconnects again. I boot the computer and the light will be blue. On my laptop there is a light that shines blue when connected and orange when not connected. The Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN adapter keeps dropping connection. I'm having a problem that just started with my 2 year old laptop.
