[1] One line summary of the problem
A few minutes after booting, the Wi-Fi disconnects and it fails to reconnect
until I restart the machine.

[2] Full description of the problem/report
I start the machine, a Samsung R580 laptop and the Wi-Fi connects. Then, after 5
or 10 minutes, while the Wi-Fi still appears to be connected, I can no longer
load web pages. Then, a few minutes later, the Wi-Fi is disconnected. I tried
some iconfig commands to try to reconnect it, but it does not work.
It is crucial to notice that this happens only in 64 bit kernels. I tested 3.13
to the latest upstream. The machine running a 32 bit kernel stays connected forever.

I have been running my RTL8192E with driver r8192e_pci from a 64-bit kernel 
4.4-rc8 for over 39 hours with no disconnects. Other than the driver logging 
meaningless outputs, all has been fine.

Do you get any real errors logged?
