wifi on elementary not working
by .habla from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5120Q)
Hi I am new to this site and to Linux as well.
I installed the newest elementary on my Toshiba Satellite laptop. Since then sometimes there is some available WiFi sometimes not, but I cannot connect to a thing in either case.
