Post Body

This started a few weeks ago and I haven't managed to find a solution short of it just being a hardware issue. After anywhere between 10 minutes and an hour of being on my laptop just stops seeing any wireless connections. I've tried restarting the adapter, restarting the driver, updating and reinstalling the driver, all to no avail. All that seems to fix it is restarting the laptop; after which it just happens again after some time. Sometimes the laptop being put to sleep and woken fixes it but not always.

The laptop is an Acer Aspire 5552 and the adapter is Qualcomm Atheros AR5B97 on the latest driver (10.0.0.274). Thanks!
