[xubuntu-users] Wireless connection on Xubuntu 18.04

[Karel P Coors]

Appreciate it if anyone can suggest solution: on Xubuntu 16.04 I
experienced intermittent wireless connections. Recently I switched to
Ubuntu 18.04, the problem worsened. Find WICD, installed. Removed and
purged network-manager. Got nowhere with WICD. Removed, purged WICD.
Reinstall network-manager.

Wired connection OK. Wireless not. Here some details I picked up:
$ rfkill list

0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN

Soft blocked: no

Hard blocked: no

1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth

Soft blocked: no

Hard blocked: no

2: ideapad_3g: Wireless WAN

Soft blocked: no

Hard blocked: no

3: phy0: Wireless LAN

Soft blocked: no

Hard blocked: no

4: hci0: Bluetooth

Soft blocked: no

Hard blocked: no

$ iwconfig

lo no wireless extensions.

wlp9s0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:off/any

Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated

Tx-Power=15 dBm

Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off

Power Management:off

enp5s0 no wireless extensions.

wwp0s29f7u5i6 no wireless extensions

I started install WPA Supplicant. Receive warning password to be minimum 8
characters, which it is. 8 character password used to work on the
intermittent wireless connection on Xubuntu 16.04 and Xubuntu 18.04.

Many thanks for your time.

Best regards
