When troubleshooting wireless, it's important that your system is fully updated by opening a terminal, CTRL+ALT+T. Using a wired internet connection, please run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
and reboot if necessary.
If the issues persist, it is recommended that you install pastebinit, by running:
sudo apt install pastebinit
This will enable the wireless script to, upon your approval, upload the obtained data to pastebin, creating at the same time a link to it in your terminal, permitting you to paste it to a forum thread.
Once that's done, download and run the wireless info script (https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info), which will gather information to help diagnose your system. You can run it using this command:
wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && \
chmod +x wireless-info && \
./wireless-info
It will create the file "wireless-info.txt" at the location it is run from, and depending on its size, an additional archive called "wireless-info.tar.gz". If you prefer, you can post the file directly to pastebin (http://pastebin.com/) yourself. Sensitive information like MAC addresses and WPA/WEP keys are masked automatically.
If you aren't able to connect to the internet with the affected system, including via a wired connection, just navigate to this link (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2082305&p=12350385&viewfull=1#post12350385) and follow the instructions there on how to the run wireless script without an internet connection.
If 'Broadcom' appears in the output next to '[0280]', head over to the Broadcom guide (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2214110).
Please choose a clear and informative title when creating your thread:
"Atheros ABC123 drops connection, Ubuntu 14.04", is an acceptable thread title, concise and informative.
"Heeelp, wireless doesn't work", is completely vague and meaningless.
