I recently installed Ubuntu: 14.10, Kernel: 3.16.0-31-generic. I have some network problems. My Laptop is a Lenovo Yoga 13. I had some issues getting the network adapter to work, but it works now - sometimes! Here is what happens:
At work, everything works like a charm. I have had no problems what so ever!
At home, Wifi connection shows a "?" in the toolbar. Everything using the network connection stops responding. For example the file browser, when I try to connect to something using SSH, my Bluefish editor, also using SSH. When I try to edit network setting, it also stops responding. I have to force quit these applications... "“Settings” is not responding. You may choose to wait a short while for it to continue or force the application to quit entirely."
The browser is working for a while, but then it looses connection. However the browser does not stop responding, it just looses connection.
If I try to reboot, the system freezes completely.
On my other devices there is no problems connecting to this network.
Some commands, with information:

) or better yet the revision of the git repository (git log -n 1 --oneline
) could come in handy too. – David Foerster Feb 28 '15 at 22:46The errors from dmesg persists - but the wifi works.
