I went through loads of posts looking for an answer to my WiFi problems but can't seem to fix it.

I had Ubuntu 12.04 installed and WiFi worked fine with no issues whatsoever but then I upgraded to 13.10 it has stopped working.

It shows the available networks but I can't connect to any of them it just does that animation thing then stops working.

Update

Heres the link to pastebin: http://pastebin.com/GyMMEYhv

And heres what wifi card i have and driver

lspci:

01:00.2 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8168] (rev 0a)

  • It is safe to run it was written by me and some good friends it will help diagnose your wireless issue. Paste this command in a terminal wget -N -t 5 -T 10 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script && chmod +x wireless_script && ./wireless_script It will download a script and create a file named (wireless-info.txt, or wireless-info.txt.tar.gz) in your home folder paste the contents of the file here pastebin.com then paste the link back here.

I had same issue and it became to work after this: go to Settings -> Software & Updates -> Additional Drivers and turn off Wireless LAN Controller (select Do Not Use Device -> Apply) and then turn on it again. During this process I was connected to internet via ethernet wire
