Wireless stops working on an MSI U180 netbook

Question

I'm having trouble with WiFi on my MSI U180 netbook using 12.04.

When I boot up the netbook, it will connect to my router, however, after a few minutes the WiFi will just stop working and not find or connect to any networks. The only way to get WiFi connectivity back is to reboot the netbook, however, the connection will again only last a few minutes. A wired connection works fine.

I have tried connecting to a different router and the same thing happens. My friend has the same OS and netbook and his works fine. Does anybody have any possible solutions?

Don't know if you have fixed this yet, but I had the same issue with my MSI U180 and in the "Edit connections" at the top go to your wireless and then choose your wireless AP and then go to IPV6 and set it to ignore and that fixed my issue with not being able to connect to wireless.

I have tried the solution from here and seems to be working, only having trouble with the "blacklist drivers" part.

Rfkill list

Press the Fn and F11 buttons at the same time and the green Wi-Fi light should come on. Bingo--you're ready to go.
