I recently keep having the problem that my internet stops working. On firefox, I get server not found. And the usual make sure that you didn't type ww instead of www.

Wi-Fi is still connected. A restart always fixes the problem. In Skype, I get multiple messages with people going offline at the exact same moment. Is there a way to fix this so I don't have to keep restarting it?

$ lspci -knn | grep Net -A2

UPDATE:

It seems that Skype keeps fluctuating between everyone offline and some online. But it happens separately to when the browser stops working

I have a MacBook Pro with Ubuntu as a partition

Your wireless wl driver is not installed. You probably tried to install a wrong version that did not build for 14.04.

When wl driver is installed, lspci -knn | grep Net -A2 shows Kernel driver in use: wl

Install the driver this way.
