[kubuntu] No wireless connection this morning

lundi 22 août 2016

I woke up this morning to find that the wireless internet connection that was fine as I closed the lid last night will not allow me to connect. I updated to 16.04 about 3 weeks ago, and everything has been fine up until now. I've tried simple remedies, reboot, power down, etc. The router is working everywhere else, the same hardware on this HP Pavilion dv6-3122us is used in my Windows partition with no problem. Windows says my network adapter is a Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n Wifi Adapter.

I can access the internet via ethernet cable, which I read on here has resolved the problem once, but it didn't help me. The Connection Editor has the Connect and Disconnect choices grayed out, so the only things I can do with that are edit and delete connections. In trying to fix it myself I deleted the wireless connection in the hope I could add a replacement connection and it would work, but it did not. In adding the new connection it wouldn't even discover my ssid.

I see I'm not the only one with this problem, or at least a similar one. My ethernet cable is only about 7' long and lands me right beside the kitchen stove, and my wife forbids that except in emergencies. I'll check back for a response by reluctantly using my Windows partition, as I must do now. I really prefer Linux, but it's useless to me if I can't get the internet.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
