Also when it tried to auto connect to the wireless (failed again of course) this message was added to the
dmesg | grep b43

b43legacy-phy0 warning: Unexpected value for chanstat (0x7C00)

ok, from a wired conection please do..

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo modprobe -r ssb
sudo modprobe ssb

boot and see if it connects

[soulofthegods88]

I ran each one one at a time when i did sudo modprobe -r ssb i received FATAL ERROR: Module ssb is in use. I tried with ethernet to start rebooted and tried again without ethernet and recieved the same error. The results were the same it tried to connect to wireless waited about 1-2 minutes and said it was disconnected without ever connecting to it.

Ok an update to this post for some very strange reason my wireless just started working out of nowhere. After doing the last commands and it not working I connected back to the ethernet. I ran the program Ubuntu Tweaks and ran the janitor program deleting all in the list with the exception of old kernels. I settled into my GIMP software to do some work, in the meantime my fiancee needed to use her laptop so I disconnected the ethernet from my computer and the wifi connected immediatly and is so far working stable even after two reboots. Thank You so very much for your help and if there is any way I can find out exactly what happened so that I can post it and let others having my problem know of a possible solution I would appreciate it for now I will mark this as solved since its working at this moment.
