Re: Toshiba nb305-n310 atheros wireless adapter
Here are a few things you can try:
ping -c 3 http://www.google.com
If you get host unknown run "ifconfig" to see if you get an internet address on wlan0, if not try "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up"
If that does nothing you can try running "dhcpcd wlan0"

Sry for waiting....
I tryed yours and some other commands in terminal:
- ifconfig :
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 70:5a:b6:7e:74:8a
inet addr:192.168.0.102 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

dhcpcd wlan0:
The program 'dhcpcd' can be found in the following packages:
* dhcpcd
* dhcpcd5
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
AND I ALLSO RUNNED THIS TWO:
inxi -N :
Network: Card-1: Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) driver: ath9k
Card-2: Realtek RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller driver: r8169
sudo rfkill list
