Hi. This bug completely disappear on kernel 4.9.14 Along all time (weeks) when I was on kernel 4.9.14 this bug never occurred.

However, it re-emerge (BUT IN NEW FASHION & FORUM) when I upgrade to kernel 4.9.15
Original bug was that wifi die completely & I need to either power off/on wifi hotkey or some times to restart my PC to be able to connect to Internet via wifi.

Now the case is as following: the wifi suddenly & unexpectedly - especially when I stand on a page for time like 5 minutes without navigation activity, like now when I type this replay - BUT I HAVE NO NEED TO POWER OFF/ON WIFI OR RESTART MY PC. All what I have to do now is waiting browser working & working & working (for about 2 - 3 minutes) to be able to re-establish Internet transmission to new page.

Please your kind review for this new case. I'm not sure whether it's place here or need to open new bug. This new case is annoying since just if I remain on a web page for about 5 minutes without navigation, then my wifi will hiccup ! 

Also, it seem that the problems (old & recent) related to kernel modules not to the wifiroamd. Please to review this point also.

Best.
