Where are my wireless error logs?

Solution 1:

  1. iwconfig gives more information about wifi networks than ifconfig
  2. sudo lshw -C network will give you even more information
  3. for logs, you could try looking in the /var/log/dmesg files, although that's a lot to wade through so you would want to check as soon as possible after you fail a connection. I'm not sure there are dedicated interface logs - hopefully somebody else will have a better solution for you.
