Power Management problem
Lenovo W520 with RealTek 

RealTek and wireless 'dissasocicated' problems. 
new ~/howto/wireless debug script.. 
echo 'options rtl8192se swenc=1' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192se.conf
Then go into your router settings and change 802.11bgn to 802.11bg save and let
your router reboot.

mnolin-ws520:/etc/modprobe.d # cat rtl8192ce.conf
options rtl8192ce swenc=1
options rtl8192ce ips=0 fwlps=0

Used to think Lenovo was pretty good stuff still struggling with Optimus Nvidia
display madness.  I have crappy old laptops with better WiFi devices and
throughput.  

I was lucky the Realtek Wifi produced some quick google hits.
