Hi,

also, make sure your system is fully up-to-date (a network cable is recommended if you are having lapses with the connection!):

Hi,

with your network cable connected, run the following 2 terminal commands (Ctrl + Alt + t) and restart:

Code:
sudo dpkg --configure -a


then:

Code:
sudo apt-get install -f


Let us know if this helps. :D

Open terminal and write:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf

A blank document will open.
Copy and paste the following line inside it

options ath9k nohwcrypt=1


Press "Save" to save the file, close it, reboot and see if that helped.
