After moving to a new location I haven't been been able to get the wifi working properly. My laptop finds the network ok and can connect to it, but no data is able to pass through. Momentarily it does work, but only for a second or two at a time. After purging and reinstalling resolvconf I got up to 10 minutes of working connection, but now it is down again.

My android device and other devices work properly with the network, and my ubuntu has not been suffering with problems with other networks.
My situation is unfortunately one where I cannot modify the network itself, but since other devices are working great, I suspect the problem is not there.
I'm not really familiar with Ubuntu networking, so there could be even something simple I'm missing here, even though I'v tried looking at the discussion and other questions around here. Thank you all for the help.
Here is the report from the wifi script:

Can you explain me what exactly this is doing, so that I can try to tweak some bit here and there and try to fix it completely.
Thanks anyways, I am at least able to work now. Thanks a tonne :)
