Problem: WiFi networks are detected but connection can't happen. When I select a network to connect, the twirling 'thinking' icon flashes momentarily and then straight back to the disconnected network port icon.
The wifi on the laptop did not work originally and I had to follow some online advice to get it working. I think I installed some drivers off github and I definitely switched to kernel version 3.16.0-34, which I'm still on. However the old problem was an unstable connection.
Since the computer cannot access the Internet, I attach an image with the output of mintWifi.py
. I have just moved house and am trying to connect to different networks here. However, none of the networks I can see here get as far as requesting password. There have been no relevant system updates installed recently either.
