[ubuntu-za] Network connection issues - Wifi

[Deon Pretorius]

Hi,

Not sure if this applies to you, but from personal experience with 12.04 
on my laptop , one of the updates broke networking and I had to go into 
terminal and manually start networking then wifi would work again.
I tried many things but could not get networking to start at boot. I 
eventually upgraded to 13.04 and all worked again.
