I've been using Ubuntu 16.04 for a few weeks now, and today, all of a sudden, I was unable to connect to WiFi. I'm able to see a list of connections, however, I'm unable to connect -- after entering the password, it tries to connect but fails, and prompts for the password again. This happens 3 times, after which, nothing happens and I'm unable to connect. No change has been made on my router, as far as I know. The funny thing is, even when I use my Android phone to hotspot, I can't connect as well. All other devices in my network have no issues connecting.

My Ubuntu 16.04 is dual boot with Mac OSX, on which, I am able to connect to WiFi without any issues.

Here's some additional information about my wireless adapter.

$ sudo lshw -C network
  *-network               
       description: Wireless interface

Would anyone be kind enough to troubleshoot this issue with me, please?

  • Please [edit] your question and add output of lspci -knn | grep Net -A2 terminal command. – Pilot6 Jun 12 '16 at 11:21
  • Thanks for the quick response! I've added the output of lspci -knn | grep Net -A2 – Andrew Jun 12 '16 at 11:23
  • See http://askubuntu.com/a/624746/167850 – Pilot6 Jun 12 '16 at 11:40
  • Unfortunately, that answer did not help me at all. I'm still getting the exact same behaviour :( – Andrew Jun 12 '16 at 11:58
  • Please edit your question to add the result of: dmesg | grep brcm – chili555 Jun 12 '16 at 15:13
  • I've added the output of dmesg | grep brcm :) – Andrew Jun 13 '16 at 01:00
  • I have the same adapter on a "MacBookPro12,1" (Ubuntu only, OSX sucks) and WiFi works fine... but a couple months ago suspend stopped working, and the only errors in dmesg are brcmf-related. It always shows that brcmf_cfg80211_reg_notifier: not a ISO3166 code ... :-/ – Lambart Dec 29 '16 at 01:49
