I am running Ubuntu 14.04 on a Thinkpad X230 with Intel Centrino Advended-N 6205 wifi. On my home network everything is fine, but at work the connection keeps dropping after a minute of being connected. Any ideas?
Thanks, Azalus

Give us some basic indicators, like signal strength at home and at work. – Kalle Richter Apr 02 '15 at 18:52

Signal strength isn't an issue as I am right by the router at both places. – Azalus88 Apr 02 '15 at 19:08

If your work uses PEAP and whatnot for wifi authentication there are several issues with it on ubuntu and other distros. I have had moderate success by connecting to a hidden network with the corporate network's name rather than clicking on it and connecting to it. I am still prompted for a password every time I get to work though. You can troubleshoot most of these issues by editing the connection file in :
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
Hope this helps.

What if it's not PEAP? (I don't know that it isn't...) What then? What else can I try? – Azalus88 Apr 02 '15 at 19:13

you could still look at the configuration file inside the system-connections folder and see if anything else looks strange. If your company uses Active Directory or some over form of SSO application there is a good chance that it is WPA Enterprise (PEAP, EAP, ect) type encryption. If it's not, you will have to look at your signal strength, it is possible that there is a "louder talker" near your office's access point(s) – Andrew Meyer Apr 02 '15 at 23:20
