USB WiFi times out at random intervals.

Realtek RTL8188EUS works like a charm and then falls asleep. I can't be sure what causes it; maybe the usb bus or possibly the driver. The dongle works well on other OS's and Hardware. Any ideas would surely help.
 
Probably power management.

For debugging you can set /etc/sysctl.conf then reboot.
Code:
dev.rtwn.0.debug=0x829f
Then check /var/log/messages
 
trev pwr=ON and also, debug output was not showing anything relating to the disconnects. ?.?

*Edit*
I chalked it up to usb power saving, but I'm not completely sure. I've enabled my internal wifi card just now - finally.
