I have a wireless adapter that used to work in ubuntu 13.10 (dwa 171) after installing drivers for it. Now it won't work the same way anymore since I upgraded to ubuntu 14.04.

I've found the only way to make it work properly is to run the command sudo service network-manager restart I already tried putting this command in rc.local, rc2.local and rc3.local with no real luck. I want this command to run automatically right after login in with startup application program. Please tell me how to.

Hi everyone thanks for trying to answer my question. I have found a permanent fix for my network adapter that the newer release of ubuntu broke. My solution involved getting this ppa: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mathieu-tl/nm/ubuntu saucy main it has Ubuntu's 13.10 network manager package and wpasupplicant package. I went to synaptic and downgraded only the wpasupplicant package. I never have to run the command sudo service network-manager restart again.
