The wifi connection box shows all the right available networks, but I'm unable to connect to anything. It says 'connecting,' then the grey wifi icon changes to the gray ethernet icon for a second, then changes back to grey wifi with the 3 dots and I get a notification saying I've been disconnected. This happens on various networks that I've tested it with. I've also noticed some really weird behavior that may or may not be connected. At fist it was jut my wireless mouse being unresponsive, freezing in one spot and staying there. I just thought my battery was dying so I tried to use the trackpad, and the same thing is happening. Sometimes a key will get sticky as I'm typing, and input a few dozen times before it stops. What's peculiar is that it only seems to act like that when my wifi is on and I'm trying to connect to a network. Right now I've got the ethernet cable plugged in and it's behaving fine.
here's the output of mintWifi.py:
