Bug Description
After installation of i386 version (32-bit), wifi disconnects after the system has been running for five or more minutes. Tried upgrading from version 14.10 and could not when selecting wifi and connecting. Upgrade would hang. Also happens in KDE 15.04.
The wifi has been working perfectly with previous versions. System is an HP Pavilion with 2 GB of memory. Also have 15.04 running on 64-bit laptop with no connection problems to same cable router.
Tried downloading and installing different or newer copies of i386 15.04 with the same results.

While obtaining this info, the wifi remained connected and working. If it fails once again, will rerun the info check.
Continues to disconnect on Ubuntu/Kubuntu 15.04. It appears that something was dropped or changed to support for RALINK series of WIFI interfaces. There was never a problem in prior versions. When installing KDE 15.04, have to not enable WIFI or it does not install.
