I recently assembled a new desktop with an ASUS PCE-N15 wireless network adapter and my home wireless network is detected and I am able to connect to it and even access the Internet.

However, after little time I lose the Internet connection, not the wireless connection to the home network, and have to manually disconnect and reconnect in order to get Internet working.

Anyone has any ideas?

UPDATE 2: The result of running ip route list with and without internet connection is the same:

default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0  proto static
169.254.0.0/16 dev wlan0  scope link  metric 1000 
192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.1.7  metric 2

It's the same driver (rtl8192ce) as in this question - and a very similar behaviour. Best solution up to now is to use kernel 3.0.0-14. It's not perfect but better than any of the later kernels.
