Unable to connect to network

[Guest]

OS version- Linux 3.16.0-23-generic
KDE SC version- 4.14.1


The problem started after I messed around with the software package manager in Ubuntu. Believing this was an isolated incident I opted to make fresh install, which I did, but only to find that I still couldn't connect to the internet. Why is this in the Kubuntu Forums? After finding out my fresh install of Ubuntu wasn't "working" I decided to try different flavor, Kubuntu. To my surprise( not really ) I still couldn't connect to a network despite being a second fresh install.


After poking around I found the KSystemLog which gave me this after trying to connect to a wireless network

I don't know too much about this stuff, so any kind of help would be greatly appreciated
