    Have you tried booting using the live CD and then connecting to the internet with cable?

    Then you can follow the link given by MikeTbob. The outputs will give us a bird's eye view of what's happening in your system and might be able to make your wireless work in no time

    Well I hope we can help you make your wireless work soonest then!

    It's no joke running up and down the stairs every time you need to connect. Let's see those outputs
