I have tried other recommendations from the forums but still the wireless is not working.
I have also tried the white and black list and still not working. And for the unnecessary question "is the wireless one?" Yes it is.
If I want to deal with so many issues I would of state with Windows in stead. Ubuntu used to be reliable but the last two releases are becoming very buggy.
I have also read that this is an old bug but hasn't been fixed. Any one with a recommendation? Hopefully a patch will be release to fix the issue for good.
Thank you.

It has worked for a while but for the last three day the wireless is being disconnected automatically and it doesn't matter what I tried several different recommendations and still not working. Even when the wireless network is enable still the wireless is disable through one of the programs.
It is very down side not to be able to use the wireless on the laptop.
