After upgrading two laptops to 17.04 (one Acer TravelMate and an older HP pavilion), the wifi on one of them (HP) speed working.

Output of lspci -v includes

I already tried restarting the network-manager service, and "ifconfig wlo1 down"/"up", but this yield an error "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error"..

Thanks for your help if you can suggest anything..

  • Is "speed working" good or bad? Also, check out askubuntu.com/questions/425155/…. Apr 17, 2017 at 16:21
  • Thanks for commenting. I have installed a new driver now with a script (RT3290_u16). It renamed my wireless device to "eno1" and I can get it working, and speed is as normal. But in order for wifi to work, I need to install the driver every single time I start up the system, and in addition I need to do "ifconfig eno1 down", "ifconfig eno1 up", and "service network-manager restart" - and then I need to connect to hidden network in order for the list of networks to become visible. The output of the script in the second answer on the link you posted: pastebin.com/RNqERspw Apr 26, 2017 at 11:49
