<p>Hi. <br>
</p>
<p>I know it's been a while since this thread was active, but I have
a possible solution, although it is, as yet, untested by myself.</p>
<p>Today I installed WICD network manager on my Dell laptop, running
16.04. So far it's working really nicely. Yes, the interface is
not as pretty as the Unity network manager, but at least I can see
the available wireless networks in the pull-down dialogue. <br>
</p>
<p>If any of you want to try this, here is a link to the process I
used - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD</a></p>
<p>I'll keep you posted on how things progress over the next few
days.</p>
