(Get the code!)
Thanks much Dimitrios, really appreciate you took the time to answer, even though you are spot on - not the answer i am looking for :-) - been following your posts too. thanks god, i wasn't that stupid! ;-p
same laptop, same config, same everything.
As i explained in an earlier post, Adam's dkms package worked perfect for me with ALL ubuntus (i have quadruple boot, win 10, 14.04 LTS, 15.04 and 15.10 beta final). I had kernel 3.19 installed and booted. see my post #300.
Definitely stupidity, but by mistake, i issued sudo apt-get autoremove and lost the magic 3.19 kernel under ubuntu 15.10. Reinstalling "manually" 3.19 (i.e. not via synaptic) has not helped. :-s and it's after that that i have been wifi deprived - weird.
Therefore, I am trying to get 4.2 to work again, initially without success, but finally seems to work. My output is the same as the one people who have it working!, including you Dimitrios!! :-ss
Everything is also identical to what i get here under 15.04, except that i am not accessing anything on the www! :-( i can use any browser to go to yahoo or google and it just dies after a long wait.
I had read Frank's comment obviously, and everyone else's, and i have access to multiple ISPs, but none work, whatever their speed (5Ghz, etc...)
Really baffled by what is happening... could it be related to the duplication of places where to get the firmware files?? i used the location provided by the last guy above to say it worked for him.... maybe i am not using the correct files? that's the only thing that should be different, since i copied the file as instructed whereas for 15.04, which i am using to type this, i am using Adam's dkms.
