Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum but not new to Linux, but by no means am I an expert. I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen this problem before.
After installing update to Linux lite, I reboot and when linux loads, I have no wifi. After a lot of playing around I discover that if I shutdown the pc, pull the battery, and then remove power for a couple of minutes, then boot I will have wifi with no problems. but if I do a restart from the log out screen the wifi will not work. I have searched Google for a month or more but I have not found any answers. When the wifi doesn't work, the access point says "Not Authorized". I have tried setting it with ifconfig and iwconfig and of course it doesn't even recognized. But if I do a shut down, pull battery, disconnect power, wait a couple of minutes then boot the PC. I will have wifi when it boots up.
This problem appeared after the last updates but why would pulling power before booting give me wifi but if I restart the pc wifi doesn't work ? It has me pulling my hair out not being able to fix this problem.
What am I over looking or missing here ? Anyone else ever run into this. The PC is a HP Sleekbook, 4x AMD A8-4555M APU with Radeon™ HD Graphics, Memory 5570MB (856MB used), running Linux Lite 3.2.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
