I know this question has been discussed in this forum but there is no concrete answer it seems. I have BCM43142 wireless card in my HP desktop(Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 LTS). Wifi works fine but after some time(after 6+ hours) - connection gets very slow and finally doesn't work.
# lspci | grep -i network

Gone thru this thread and run the wireless script and here is the output

Also gone thru these threads: T1 T2 T3
But doesn't seem to work in my case. I need to reboot the system after every 6-8 hours.
And here is my settings-->Additional Driver
As per that i am using the right driver but why it disconnects after 6-8 hours?
