I've been having issues with wifi dropping randomly. This wasn't a problem until around 2 months after I switched from Windows to Lubuntu. Now I'm even having issues with my wifi not connecting even on startup. I get getting "interface doesnt support scanning". Acer es1-531-c97t

  • In order to be of much help we need to know what wifi card you have? – kc1di Mar 31 '19 at 20:06
  • Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller – Nick White Mar 31 '19 at 21:11
  • hey i have that wifi card! (I also had a hella time getting it to work) can you post output from dmesg, and lsmod? my wifi adapter wouldnt work unitll i disabled secureboot in the bios, and black listed "ideapad_lenovo" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf ... Im not sure if this would apply to you, or if you have that module. what kind of computer is it?

  • RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller is ethernet, not wifi – Jeremy31 Mar 31 '19 at 21:46
  • j0h I have no way of getting wifi right now so I can't copy and paste an output at the moment. And Jeremy31 I'm aware but I can't seem to find my wifi card through the terminal. Might have to switch back to windows soon. – Nick White Mar 31 '19 at 21:57
  • @NickWhite Please see the following question and follow the instructions to provide the information we need to help you. If you don't have WIFI then copy it to a thumb drive.
