So the fix was not permanent...Nor does it want to work more than once.
I am now thinking it would be better to downgrade to an earlier version of Ubuntu that is without this issue. Does anyone have any recommendations? Should I have posed this question in a different thread?
Everything is perception, adjust your perception and your life will do the same
No you don't have to downgrade
to an earlier ubuntu version.
The info I gave you earlier with unloading
the module and then loading it with a parameter
was not a permanent fix, it was just so we could
see if that fixed the problem.
I forgot to tell you what you need to do to make the
module use that parameter by default.
Do the following in a terminal and post the
output you get. I will tell you what to do next:
Code:grep iwlagn /etc/modprobe.d/*

Thanks for the reply friend, your assistance is much appreciated.
As for the output...Nothing happens. It just gives me a fresh line to input code.
Could you also tell me what "11n_disable=1" means?

Hi again!
"11n_disable=1" is a parameter for the "iwlagn" module
used by your wireless card. That option disables
wireless N which doesn't seem to work properly at the moment
for intel cards. "1" means that the option is enabled and
"0" means the option is disabled.
Since you didn't get any output from the above command, let's
try this instead(we need to find the right file to edit)
then do:Code:cd /etc/modprobe.d/
Post the output.Code:ls

Oh ok lovely, thanks for the info.
Is there any way to make a fix permanent? Or will I have to downgrade?

Alright.
We will make a new file in that folder.
Do this in a terminal:
Gedit will open up with our new file.Code:gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/intel_11n_disable.conf
Now put this line in the file:
Now save the file(file > save)Code:options iwlagn 11n_disable=1
and exit.
At this point we want to unload the kernel
module and reload it and after that it
should run with wireless N disabled by default.
In terminal do:
Then reload it with:Code:sudo modprobe -r iwlagn
Now check if everything worksCode:sudo modprobe iwlagn
and try to reboot the computer to make sure
the settings remain.
Good luck.

So far so good, is gksudo the same as sudo? If not, whats the difference?
