  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.
