Wireless not working Toshiba L50-B-1WP

**Canaryguy** · May 3rd, 2015

Hello,

My wired connection works fine but when I try to use wifi I can see the available wifi connections but the connection is never established although I give the right password.

Do I have to update or install a driver?

I don't know if that has something to do with the problem above but I have installed samba in both my netbook and laptop. Both have Ubuntu 15.04 x64 and in both I have installed samba. When I share a folder in the Toshiba computer I have access to this folder in my netbook but when I share a folder in my netbook I can't access it in the Toshiba computer.

Does anybody find a solution?

First thing we need to know is what wireless card is in that machine.

Go to a terminal and type the following

Code:

lspci

Also runs this script in a terminal and copy and past the resulting txt file which will be saved in your home folder.
it give valuable information about your wireless connections.

Code:

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && \
chmod +x wireless-info && \
./wireless-info

(Just copy and past it into a terminal and hit enter , it will ask you for your password)

good Luck

I followed all the steps but unfortunately it didn't work here. Thanks anyway.

one other thing you might want to try is going to network manager and edit connections click on your wireless network and under IPv6 tab switch to ignore.
give that a try.

Yes, in the thread that you suggested is that mentioned that but it had no effect.
I guess I have to wait until a new driver/update is released. Meanwhile I'll try a live session with other distributions and I'll see if the same problem is still there.
