It was quite the nightmare yesterday afternoon.  The W8 computer was fine.
I could not reliably connect with the ethernet cable nor wirelessly.  Then
it was fine all night, I even streamed videos without difficulty.

While I was having difficulty I switched users-  same difficulty.

I am using 14.04.

Would switching to WICD help?

thanks
