Wifi disabled, have to turn off and turn on

Question

Aye, i recently moved to Xubuntu 15.04 and from time to time when I wake up laptop from suspend wifi cannot connect. It says networking disabled. I tried turnig on option "Enable networking" but that gives me nothing. I have to restart laptop (and It's also a problem as sometimes turning off or trying to restart just logs me off, i have to turn it off the hard way) and then it works. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I had a similar problem on Xubuntu, try to run

sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo dpkg --configure -a

Then restart the PC. Also, you can check for additional drivers on the driver Utility.

If the problem persist, look at

dmesg

And attach the output on a text file.

Also, you can see this entry: WiFi Issues

Answer 2

Yeah, seems a little harsh. Possibly an accidental click?

At any rate, have you tried this:

And if you are struggling to follow that solution, paste the results of "sudo lsmod" and we can go from there.
