Re: Installing driver for Ubuntu 16.04 Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN

[info@leopoldosoria.com]

Dear Madam Sedat,
Thank you for your answer.

I already consulted Ubuntu Community but it is not so nice for a 
beginner like me. I tried several recomedations from them, but no way.  
So, I thought, it is better to ask to the source.

Yes, I have the firmware you mention, but wifi doesn't work. The icon 
appear in the top bar but it doesn't seem to be conected. It doesn't 
seach conections even when wifi is activated. The ligh of wifi simbol in 
the laptop lights some times but others it doesn't.

Any help is welcome and I won't forget ladies next time, sorry.

Thank you for your help and have a happy new year 2017 also.

Regards,
Leopoldo
