Akemi, I appreciate it if you can help more after reading the information below. As for the Network Manager, I didn't see it on the task bar at all in the first try.
August, Did you see the Network Manager after re-installing the OS? Did you use it?

Is this loaded? /sbin/lsmod | grep iwl Are you using NetworkManager and is it configured correctly? Akemi
