Acer 1410 wifi connection failure

Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C network

Thanks

Yes, here goes:

sudo modprobe -r iwlagn; sleep 5; modprobe iwlagn 11n_disable=0

if you now run:

sudo iwlist scan | head -n 25

Do you see APs?

When I run sudo modprobe -r iwlagn; sleep 5; modprobe iwlagn 11n_disable=0, I get the following;

I ran sudo iwlist scan | head -n 25 and it said "iwlist: unknown command -n

The command works perfect here, even the one you typed in your last post. I suggest you retry.

Hi

Just retried, got exactly the same response in the terminal.

Sorted the problem by a fresh install, all working now, must have been the upgrade that broke it.

Not sure I care for 10.10 though

Thanks for all your assistance
