Weird wifi problem

[Dänk 42Ø]

I am using Linux Mint 13 and am quite pleased with it. Last week my
wireless card refused to connect to the router, and one source said they
fixed a similar problem by uninstalling network-manager and installing
wicd.

Wicd connected with no problem, but then yesterday it stopped working. I
re-installed it, restarted it over and over, nothing. Uninstalled it and
re-installed network-manager and restarted it over and over and rebooted
and logged out over and over and still nothing. Gave up and decided to
re-install the OS. I was just about to boot the installer when I
remembered something I left on the HDD, so I rebooted and suddenly my
wireless is working!

I did nothing that could have fixed it other than yell at it and reboot
one more time, so what happened? I shouldn't anthropomorphize a
computer, but it's like it is trying to be a bitch.

I had a similar problem once and had to manually assign the DNS servers

Had a similar problen on an ACER Aspire 5575G last week. Started by
dropping the wifi connection then the wifi would not switch on on boot.
Open the bottom case and wiggled the wifi module and all then worked OK.
Could be a plug/socket connector problem.

I have an Acer Aspire One netbook -- also running LM13 (32-bit) -- and
have never had a single problem with it. It uses the Atheros chipset,
which is why I bought an Atheros card for my desktop after my old W******
card wouldn't work.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't the plug/socket, since I could see the network
but network-manager and wicd kept insisting the key was incorrect. This
was a recurring problem in LM12, and I had hoped it had been fixed.
(Back then I could just "forget" the network and re-discover it, but that
didn't work this time.)

If the physical layer is not failing then fixing the connection details
like dns and ip should resolve it , worth a try

This troubleshooting fails to address the issue of the wireless signal
quality and interference possibilities.

Also, in this scenario, if the wireless can't access the router, it
surely can't access the local network.

I don't follow this part of the report in which you say you can see the
network but the security key isn't working.

Why is this message thread being crossposted to 3 groups instead of the
one best one?

No, they must be burned, and any memory of them forgotten. It is essential
that no memory of their existence be tolerated.
