After it was done and rebooted it asked for the authentication for the wireless network. No problem. I have Verizon FIOS and got the number off the verizon box, entered it and it connected no problem. About 10 seconds later a window said, disconnecting and said I was now offline and the add Key number window popped up again. So, I went into the settings and it even said connect automatically on startup. Hmmmm. I again entered the key code and again it connected and again it disconnected after about 10 seconds.

I have it on my Toshiba Satellite L505 laptop, which is dual boot. Any suggestions as to what else I may have missed?
It may be a driver issue, with there being a regression in the new
kernel, that doesn't work as well with your network card. It may be a
NetworkManager update. I have a page that goes through testing if it's
the network configuration tool, which, though written more for Fedora,
might be useful.
