H,
It's been almost two weeks I was trying to figure out what is going on. I have upgraded Mint to the newest Qiana XFCE and cannot open any Internet site or download updates over WiFi connection. As soon as I connect cable - everything works fine.
I thought that maybe I messed up some configuration. I downloaded and started the system from Live USB - same story. I downloaded another distribution (Fedora) - it's the same. I have to say I am now quite frustrated and have no freaking idea what is happening. Connection goes over my private router without any fancy settings apart from the password
I have W7 installed and have no issues there. I suspect it must something wrong with the newest inux distribution maybe. I have noticed that lot of people complain about WiFi connectivity. Could anyone advise me what else I could check? Currently I am downloading older Linux distirbution just to see if this might be the issue.

Re: Internet via WiFi fails
while connected did you try control center ,driver manager? check if it sees another driver for your atheros card.
Re: Internet via WiFi fails
Sorry for such a long delay in replying. Anyway - Device manager crashes. I don't have English interface but it shows message sth like: There are no owned drivers.
And showes empty window.
I tried already 4 Linux distribution - I get connected with WiFi but no way to display any page or i.e. download updates. I'm really stuck with it.

Re: Internet via WiFi fails
ok,
let's first update your system and see what happens, open terminal and copy paste this into it.
