Unable to connect to wireless network following upgrade to 15.04
I upgraded my Dell Inspiron 7547 from Ubuntu 14.10 to Ubuntu 15.04 today, and I am now unable to connect to wireless networks.
I can see the wireless connection I am trying to connect to, but I am unable to connect. The connection times out without presenting an error message. First I tried forgetting the network and putting the information back in manually. I then tried disabling the wireless security on the router (Linksys E900) and reconnecting and had the same issue. I also tried connecting to a WiFi hotspot from my phone and had the same issue. The wireless connection from the router works fine on Windows 8.1 and my other wireless devices.
Any advice on what I should try next? What additional information can I provide to help?
Per comment, here is the output from running the wireless script: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10875310/
I have been having similar issues (same wireless card). Here is what I did to fix it:
sudo service network-manager stop
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
Add options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
to file, save, and close. Then:
sudo rmmod iwlmvm iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlmvm iwlwifi
sudo service network-manager restart
This will inactivate Wireless N so network speed may be affected.
If that doesn't work undo what you did by:
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
and delete the last line (options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
) and everything will be back to the way it was before.
Evan's solution wasn't working. But, I have fixed the wifi issue by upgrading my linux kernel to 4.x as mentioned in the below post - Install Linux Kernel 4.0.3
