http://askubuntu.com – I have a Asus eee PC 1001PX running ubuntu 12.04. Everything works well but the wifi is unstable. When I boot the wifi works fine, but after about 5-10 min it gets slow, disconnects etc and the computer starts to run slowly. The it is ok after reboot, for about 5-10 min. Any ideas? I have tried everything I have found with google but nothing works. I have tried a few different wifi routers and it is always the same. sudo lshw -class network *-network description: Wireless interface product: AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) vendor: Atheros (HowTos)

My laptop's wifi stopped working when I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 (wired works). I just reinstalled 12.04 over my old 12.04 on which wifi didn't work either in an attempt to restore any settings I may have accidentally changed, but it still doesn't work.

Hi..

I purchased a new HP Laptop (HP 2000 series). I have installed Kubuntu 12.10 ,but I am unable to use wifi.

This is kinda strange.

The router is set fine and I can see it from a Mac and from 2 mobile phones. Is WEP protected and not hidden or other tricks, as it comes from the box. My Ubuntu is 10.04 on HP Pavillion DV1000.

When I try to connect from Ubuntu, it does see other networks (10 or more) but not my own.
