[SOLVED] KDE Network

[pookito]

Good Afternoon kubuntu world. I am currently using KDE Neon. I switched from Kubuntu to Sabayon Linux to KDE Neon now. But, IDK what is happening, everything was working fine. I noticed that now the wireless network takes a while to get connected. A message says unable to connect to the wireless network. Another message comes on and it says unable to find network.

At the same time, I can see the name of the wireless when my card is reading it. Obviously I have tried to disconnect and reconnect to the network. I have also deleted the network from my wireless list and added it back. Still it takes a minimum of 10 to 15 mins to get get connected. Also, I have tried different network for test, and still have the same issue.

So, my question is: how can I get back to good working order? I am sure it was an update or something. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

pookito.

Need to know what network card driver you are using. See http://ask.xmodulo.com/network-card-...ion-linux.html

Sure, thank you for waiting and my apologies for taking this long. I know that it has to be with an update, because it was working fine before, but here is what I got when I use the dmesg command and the modinfo:

dmesg | grep -i ethernet
[ 1.543034] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded
[12313.308871] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3

I guess my driver info is: r8169

I will assumed that it was an update problem. I waited long enough and a new update fixed the issue. So, I'll close this thread.
