Bug Description
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L750, which has a Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter in it. When I was running 13.10 it all worked perfectly fine, but ever since I upgraded to 14.04 - literally, ever since the reboot after installing it - it has been problematic. The curious thing is though, it is only problematic connecting to the home Wi-fi and not to other wi-fi services. Specifically, I am now connected to my Android phone acting as a wi-fi hotspot so that I can post this question, and it works perfectly. This laptop is the only device in the house that has trouble connecting to this wi-fi router as well - our tablets and phones all connect perfectly well, as does my partners Windows laptop. Also, the connection to the home wi-fi will sometimes work perfectly well and other times just not work at all, and the only thing I've been able to find that will make any difference at all is to just wait and try again later. If it doesn't work now - which it doesn't - then in an hours time it might work perfectly well as if nothing was wrong, but if I then shut the lid and come back it will stop working again...
