Wifi not working in ubuntu 15.04
7,533
For some reason I had to change my wi-fi security from WPA and WPA2 to only WPA2... With that I can find my home wi-fi with no problems..

Yesterday I have made some updates and upgraded my linux 14.10 to linux 15.04.. Now I can't connect to my home wifi, and the others i get a dns_probe_finished_no_internet.. In the network-manager appears some really weak connections, but not my own which is 1 meter away and working because i can use my smartphone with it.
The Laptop is a Toshiba L650 and the wireless driver is a broadcom Corporation BCM4313..
Is this possible to repair? I have tried some things that appeared on google but nothing seems to work.

terminal command. -
s3lph almost 9 yearsDid you manually install a driver for the WiFi adapter? If yes, you may have to reinstall the driver, if a kernel update happened, which is quite likely if you did a release upgrade. If this is the problem, it can be avoided in future by using DKMS

-
Pilot6 almost 9 yearsWhat do you mean by "didn't work"? Did it install? Or give some error? Do you have a wired connection? Did you download the file? What is your Ubuntu version?
-
Ruben almost 9 yearsAfter doing that the problem persisted... I have a wired connection.. 15.04 is my ubuntu version
