Unable to connect to Wifi

Post by jpuneet »

Hi... Last week I installed Linux Mint 17.2 on my HP Pavilion G6 Laptop. Before that I was using windows 7 and Wifi was working fine. But now I am not able to connect to visible wifi networks except one. That one network also sometimes doesn't connect. It keeps moving in loop of ...connecting...disconnected... . As I am new to linux I don't know why I am facing this problem. Providing output of some commands. Please help!!! Thanks in advance. :D
