Connection Constantly Cutting Out, Only On My Machine

[NoInfoHere]

I have an HDD install of Kali, 64 bit, running GNOME. Nothing unusual with the build, straight out of the box so to speak. Unfortunately, my wireless card was one of the ones listed to have problems, so I purchased a USB wifi adapter, the TP-Link N300 (TL-WN822N). I've noticed, however, that every two or three minutes the connection just stops. The status bar still shows that I'm connected, but anything attempting to use wifi will time out. I've found that if I just "Turn Wifi Off" from the status bar and turn it back on, connection is restored. This becomes very, very tedious to do every couple minutes though. Three times while writing this post I've had to go through this. I'm not sure where to even begin troubleshooting this, so I turned to you guys. Thanks in advanced!!

To rule out problems with the wifi card, have you tried it in other operating systems? Will the card go into monitor mode ok?

I have the same problem with the Alfa AWUS036NHA. The connection keeps cutting off and on every 30 seconds. I blacklisted my build in wifi adapter because it does not have the right chipset to work with. I am able to set the usb adapter (AWUS036NHA) in monitor mode but i need something to fix the connection break up to get it stable.

The internal wifi card is completely in-operational, it isn't soft or hard blocked but still won't work. The wireless adapter, the one I'm trying to troubleshoot, goes into monitor mode without a hitch.

Hmm, anything odd going on with your wireless access point? Or does the card behave similarly when connecting to any access point?

Was that dmesg output from when the WiFi card was in it's bad state or while it was working?

It works the same no matter what network or access point I'm connected to.
