[Resolved itself] Wireless issues

[ohjrson]

Ok great all that information sounds awesome and I really appreciate the help. Now I do want to comment specificaly

busprof, I agree with you, and I want to add that when I had Zorn os 7 lite installed I was connecting to my network in with the higher security of wpa2 so I know that it will work. In fact I went on the forum and had to ask for help because it would connect and then lose connection and then reconnect again then repeat. But after I did an update that stopped doing that. I also did manage to find through synaptic the rfkill software, installed it and opened the terminal and tried it and it asks for my password and then just gives me back the prompt again. Tried different combinations of commands and got no output information other then the help listing. Which I guess I am not understanding. here is an example:

Code:

leslie@leslie-Latitude-C640:~$ sudo rfkill list
[sudo] password for leslie:
leslie@leslie-Latitude-C640:~$ rfkill
Usage: rfkill [options] command
Options:
--version show version (0.4-1ubuntu2 (Ubuntu))
Commands:
help
event
list [IDENTIFIER]
block IDENTIFIER
unblock IDENTIFIER
where IDENTIFIER is the index no. of an rfkill switch or one of:
<idx> all wifi wlan bluetooth uwb ultrawideband wimax wwan gps fm

Not sure what I am doing here.

N4RPS as far as that switching is concerned I just tried that now. (did not seem anything changed) and I don't remember having to do that when I had Zorn os 7 lite installed. So I am not sure if that does anything at all. I am going to reboot and see.
Please let me know if you find anything else.
Thanks
