I need more details. What distro? How are you controlling the network? If
NetworkManager, what version?
When this situation occurs, what is output to the dmesg log?
I do not see this situation on my system/device. Whenever the connection is
dropped, NM reconnects.
There are a recent patches that might have an effect. Can you build your own kernel?
