Then why not simply show lspci output? lspci -nnv
Pointless now, I found that it is an Intel Dual Band 7265 Wireless AC
chip.
Some of those dual band chips have problems connecting and staying connected if you have a dual band router also. If so, try shutting dual band mode on your router and only run on 2.4 GHz (not 5 GHz or 2.4/5GHZ) for testing.
Interestingly enough, shortly before you posted this, I received an
email from a colleague with this link:
http://zeroset.mnim.org/2014/04/22/unstable-wifi-connection-on-ubuntu-14-04-...
I am going to try this to see how I fare.
So far so good with disabling 802.11n on my wireless connection.
Will report back in a few weeks on the stability of the connection.
