  • See if you can find wireless error logs in /var/log/dmesg , see this thread here : http://askubuntu.com/questions/254804/where-are-my-wireless-error-logs – rtome Jan 19 '15 at 16:14
  • So i got it to work using some code from a thread but it drops out and reconnects every few minutes any thoughts on that – AndroidNovice21 Jan 19 '15 at 16:23
  • No can think much on that without more detail.. What was that other thread and code ? What was your resolution ? – rtome Jan 19 '15 at 16:30
  • Post the results from rfkill list all please – Jeremy31 Jan 19 '15 at 17:27
