My wireless card, an Atheros 2.4 Ghz, 300mb/s was blacklisted by the 
system (not by modprobe.d either.) Rfkill was negative, lshw -c network 
wouldnt reveal presence of Atheros wireless on wlan0, however lspci did, 
indicating a down state. (I had used Win. Wireless Drivers and then 
removed them by GUI, not cmd. line). It seemed to precipitate the system 
seizing the ath9 native kernel, for when I did dmesg et. al. ath9 would 
not activate. Later, after that fiasco, system updates, etc I installed 
a Broadcom Wireless dual-band card I had. Now, upon boot I see a post 
telling me the system timer isn't connecting with the APIC. After boot 
is complete I have to activate the wireless manually, and the system 
demands superuser status before and after my selection of the  home 
router. I don't know if that's a peculiarity of ubuntu 14.10, Mate or 
what. (I skipped 14.04 completely, What a wretched mess THAT is. Mark S. 
is repeating Bill Gates fiasco).
Anyway... since the initial loading of Mate 14.10 beta I notice my root 
file and vmlinuz 3.16.0.16 have errors. This old laptop has no EFI 
capabilities to play around with in the BIOS. Am I supposed to install 
some "bridge" or something to help the OS reconcile ancient hardware? (I 
saw some such reference on the forums, pre beta 1 release)  I've looked 
high and low for that answer, and it's still a big unknown. I will 
attach a copy of dmesg output I ran after the wireless problem, and I 
can do 1 today as well. If you want any other specific cmd. line output, 
let me know & I'll run it.
Hope this helps you. Overall the MATE is an exquisite distro, and 
properly deserves it's "cannonization" on the fast track. Thanks to all 
of you.

(PS) Egad, #2 dmesg looks even worse.
