Hello everton .

It is A meter of permission,you need to allow the user permission from the root session.
go to root,Enable the root password (give password to the root).

1

Then- log in as root,Enable the user to have full access-mark all the option for the user.
Then Restart your machine log in to the root-then change back the password to be randomize.
Then log out ,and log in as user.
I hope the you will have access to your wireless again.

Hello everton.

please use this command and tell me what you got there.

Code: Select all

netstat

Etherape (Network monitoring)
is a graphical utility that allows you to see (in real-time) where connections are being made on your network, or between your network (or computer) and the Internet. If you are experiencing unexpected network activity on your computer or LAN and wish to see where the activity is occurring, this is an easy tool to use. Both "local" user and "root user" installations are created; in general you must use the root user installation to see all your network traffic.
and use the next command to monitor the network:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install etherape
