I have some sudden issues with my wifi. Till yesterday it worked fine, since today it stopped working. In fact, instead of connecting automatically to the router, Mint 17.3 asks for the password. I have the correct one stored, but it never connects and asks again for it.
I searched the forum a little bit, and found the remove/reinstall b43-firmware commands. After a reboot, the wifi worked for some time. But then it stopped again.
Then I found the modprobe command, and tried it - with no results.
Does anybody have some ideas for that?
Thanks so much!
