Situation after installing Ubuntu 16.04LTS on a "/" partition using as home a preexisting "/home/" partition from a previous Ubuntu 12.04 where everything was running fine (nvidia, realtek SD card reader, wireless, DVD, etc) everything...

Now, with 16.04, wireless is not working anymore

Laptop: Sony Vaio VPCF23JFX.

Restart.

Then:

user@vaio:~$  lsmod

cfg80211              602112  4 mac80211,ath9k,ath,ath9k_common
...

Checking if its in blacklist files:

user@vaio:~$ gksu gedit /etc/rc.local 

    modprobe ath3k
    exit 0

user@vaio:~$  gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/ath3k.conf


    blacklist ath3k

Don't know what to do anymore ....

Using the ath9k driver with no options and configuring the modem to use only WPA2-PSK encryption did the trick for me.
