No I haven't try. It's already so complicated for me . But if that solve my problem I would like to try it.

Please download these files:

For 32bit:

http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...tu4.3_i386.deb
http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...tu2.3_i386.deb

For 64bit:

http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...u4.3_amd64.deb
http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...u2.3_amd64.deb

Save them in "Downloads" (remove other DEB files there) and install via

sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/network*.deb
sudo service network-manager restart

If

uname -a

shows kernel 3.2 then remove 3.11 via

sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-image-3.11* linux-headers-3.11*
sudo apt-get autoremove

Reboot.

Umm not sure, that last line shows kernel?

[praseodym]

Yes, its 3.2, now remove 3.11 as described and try the 3.13 Mainline-kernel (which is part of 14.04):

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa...2235_amd64.deb
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa...192235_all.deb
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa...2235_amd64.deb

Put them alone into "Downloads" and

sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/linux-*.deb

Reboot.

YAY, did reboot and I have wifi again. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[praseodym]

Thats good news.

Now you can clean-up the old kernels and header by running this command (copy/paste!):

dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/(.*)-([^0-9]+)/1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* ([^ ]*).*/1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge

After that re-install 3.11 as backup:

sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-saucy linux-headers-generic-lts-saucy

[Liis]

Did that also, for now everything works perfectly
