Recently I upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 from 14.04 and now I am having issues connecting to the internet. Every time I try to connect to a wireless network, it tries to connect for a while and then gives up. At first not even the wired ethernet connection was working to connect to the internet. But then I read through these forums and added:
Code:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
to /etc/network/interfaces. Now I can connect via the wired connection but it is listed as "device not managed." However WiFi is still definitely broken and I have not yet been able to come across any solution to fix that yet.
I have gone to the Additional Drivers tab of Software & Updates. There is only one option and it does not appear to affect WiFi - it is listed as "Unknown:Unkown". I have tried with the box checked for "Using Processor microcode firmware for Intel CPUs from intel-microcode (proprietary)" and "Do not use the device". It doesn't appear to impact anything. I've also restarted the network manager after each time.
I have also tried
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
But that seemed to have no effect.
Here are my specs:
Computer: Lenovo X1 Carbon
Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (I also dual boot with Windows 7, probably not important)
OS Type: 64-bit
Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 83)
Now for the information dump....
Output of ifconfig:

UPDATE: Issue solved:
I downloaded Wild Man's links
here and followed his instructions. At first it didn't work. But when I rebooted it actually connected to the wireless network (woot!). But wait, it still didn't work. Even though it said it was connected I couldn't reach any sites. Then I rebooted again (because hey it kind of worked the last time). And then on reboot Ubuntu somehow figured out something was up and started an auto-fix. Now it works. I have no idea what Ubuntu did during the reboot but it did something that brought a terminal screen that ran some stuff that fixed the issue.
