Sorry Mark wasn’t thinking straight, you’re right about the heat 
Sorry Emegra, but I’m going to have to call it a night … I need to install PM4 64bit on another PC so I can test some updates before releasing them.
Can we pick this up tomorrow ?
I’ll go through that output tomorrow.
No problem whenever you’re ready I’ve had enough anyway
sorry I took up so much of your time :-[
Not a problem … I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t want to be … catch you tomorrow then
[EDIT]
This is for my own reference -
try Wicd … and enable its log for clues.
try disabling IPv6
in light of the DNS issue … try a static IP
try WEP or no security temporarily
try a KNOWN GOOD adapter from another PC … there’s a chance BOTH adapters are screwy.
Because dmesg suggests the adapted is having problems authenticating (so possibly BOTH of them are rubbish) … I’d like to try -
a) a known working adapter from one of the other systems (if possible)
b) giving wicd a shot instead of networkmanager
c) switching to WEP
Which would you like to try first ?
Which would you like to try first ?
Well from my way of thinking probably changing to a known good network card would give us good info because I could swap with the PC that works best is that ok ?
That’s fine … and makes a lot of sense … it will rule in/out the adapter
OK I swapped the network cards between Linux3 (Which had a good connection) and Linux4 (Which has the bad connection) and there seems to be no difference to Linux3 it still returns a good connection speed (18.17mbps Download & 2.99mbps Upload) only the connection is weaker down to 49% from around 68%
at the moment Linux4 has connected to the network but wont connect to the Internet, it’s showing connected at 43% but it wont open any webpages, I’ve tried rebooting but no luck
First of all … in networkmanager, set
IPv6 “Method” = “Ignore”
Now send the output from:
ping -c 5 173.194.41.99
5 packets transmitted 0 recieved
All 5 attempts end with destination host unreachable
Can you ping your routers IP
ping -c 5 <IP.of.your.router>
No I get exactly the same results
if it means anything I installed another OS on another drive on that PC and wont connect to the Internet either
back in 5 minutes going outside to cool down a bit and have a vape, it’s like a fu@@@ng sauna in here

I’m a bit baffled by this
logical name: [b]wlan3[/b]
Why is it being named 3 not 0
???
Can you post the contents of:
gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
Why is it being named 3 not 0I noticed that as well, I don't know it's only showing 1 network connection in the network manager
Can you post the contents of:
gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
and the output from
lspci -vnn | grep -i net
