    Ok so i have an issue with LXLE. my wifi will work for a while and then it just stops. nothing in nothing out. its not a problem with my router. after rebooting it works for a while (like 30 minutes or less.) 

    im running on a HP Slimline s3220n with 2.5GB of ram and an RJ-45 Net Card

    RJ-45 is ethernet, not wifi.
