It mostly works but lately it is taking longer and longer to actually get online. Sometimes it just goes striaght on and other times it will take me 15-20 minutes of boot reboot
I try to connect and get failed messages on the DHCP part of it so I reboot the machine and try again or I reboot the router and try again .
Usually this fixes it but lately It just takes longer and longer .
Today I just had to go back to a cable to get connected. bloody impossible to keep FA ing with it.
Here is a log I am getting atm
