Wifi issue in 17.04

Support & Help Requests
21

I had to do the following before a connection could be made.

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

and add this line to fix wifi issue

[device]wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

Plus the other fixes listed above to resolve DNS issues

Did any of these help?

Thanks, but I donā€™t want to mess about, it doesnā€™t usually work anyway. Iā€™ll wait until they release a fix and stay on 16.10.

I tried Ubuntu Gnome and Ubuntu Budgie and found the same problem, so I decided I would have to ā€œmess aboutā€ after all. It didnā€™t work, but I found a similar suggestion on launchpad which suggested that it was also necessary to type:
sudo service network-manager restart

I tried that on an Ubuntu Budgie live CD and it worked, so I installed Budgie and repeated both the above, it still works! Budgie hasnā€™t got the missing window decoration problem Iā€™ve had with Ubuntu MATE either, so Iā€™m sticking with it.
