I have a ubuntu 16.04, windows 10 asus dual boot.

I saw a similar (but not the same) question posted to this one at this link: Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 won't connect, keeps asking for password.

My wireless connects but no data is transferred, I can't load google, etc. I typed in:

lspci -knn | grep Net -A3

And received:

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565  / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0036] rev(01)
Subsystem: Lite-On Communications Inc QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter [11ad:0662]
Kernel driver in use: ath9k
Kernel modules : ath9k

I tried the fixes suggested, but I do not have the /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi-opt.conf file, only a /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf file. I tried to adapt for atheros vs. intel, but I lack the proper know how.

What should my next steps be?

Thanks.

EDIT 1: I entered the following command as suggested by user nadav mavor:

sudo ifconfig -a ping 8.8.8.8

I received:

SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
ping: Error while getting interface flags: No such device

Edit 2: Corrected the command inputs. I entered:

sudo ifconfig

and received:

  • It will make no good if you try solutions written for Intel to fix your Atheros issue.

ok its clear that you didn't get DNC from your network the fast and easy was of fix will be to just add by heand :

1) as root edit /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base and put

nameserver 10.11.12.83
nameserver 208.67.222.222

it will add 2 name servers to your system (google one and openDNS one )

2) restart your network "/etc/init.d/networking restart"
3) test the new DNS "ping -c2 google.com"

new your system can work and your next step is to talk to your network manager to see why your system do not geting the proper DNS config

  • Hi nadav, this happened again, the file still shows those two servers, but it won't work on a different Wi-Fi now. Is there a permanent fix for This?
