(Solved) Mint 18 (64bit) Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless issues
Post by strath » Fri Aug 19, 2016 12:02 pm
Wireless works when system first starts. Cuts off after a few minutes and will not reconnect until system is restarted.
I have read and tried everything I have found on this site as well as several other sites. I can’t seem to find a solution
to this issue.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated, and I thank you all in advance.
Here is my info:
