Yesterday I bought new laptop Lenovo E540 and I installed here Ubuntu 14.04.2. But I've problem with my wifi (router is Dlink g version). I can connect to wifi without problems after turning on laptop. But then (after some time of work) suddenly my connection is lost, but network-manager is still signalizing that I'm connect but I can't even ping anything. When I try to reconnect via manager to my network it's looking like it's trying to connect but it will never do… I have to reboot and then everything is again correct until it will close connection again. I was searching net, but unfortunatily without luck. I tried to comment dns=dnsmasq in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, but nothing happen.
on Jeremy31 suggestion here is a result of
lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net

when I used grep network-manager over syslog I found there some errors:
Mar 14 22:40:03 dano-lenovo NetworkManager[784]: error requesting auth for org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.protected: (3) GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Could not get UID of name ':1.23': no such name
but I think it's problem that I can't reconnect, but why this happend I'm not sure..
last logs before error are:
