The issue is described over on github where you can see the full article. But for myself, I’m using Vagrant 1.8.1 which is a little older than what’s proposed as a solution in the article. Nonetheless, I managed to fix it with the suggestions. The gist of the solution goes like this:

• Go into your vagrant box manually. You will need to use “vagrant” as your password if you never bothered changing it.
• From your root vagrant directory, run the commands:

  wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitchellh/vagrant/master/keys/vagrant.pub -O .ssh/authorized_keys
  chmod 700 .ssh
  chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys
  chown -R vagrant:vagrant .ssh

• logout out of the box and run vagrant halt
• Locate your Vagrantfile (on my mac, it’s under ~/Homestead/Vagrantfile) and add the “config.ssh.insert_key = false”. It might look like the following:

require 'json'
require 'yaml'

VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

homesteadYamlPath = File.expand_path("~/.homestead/Homestead.yaml")
afterScriptPath = File.expand_path("~/.homestead/after.sh")
aliasesPath = File.expand_path("~/.homestead/aliases")


require_relative 'scripts/homestead.rb'

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
        if File.exists? aliasesPath then
                config.vm.provision "file", source: aliasesPath, destination: "~/.bash_aliases"
        end

        Homestead.configure(config, YAML::load(File.read(homesteadYamlPath)))

        if File.exists? afterScriptPath then
                config.vm.provision "shell", path: afterScriptPath
        end
        config.ssh.insert_key = false
end

• Run vagrant up

After these things, the warning should go away.

What I found out is that the Alienware Aurora R4 has a rather common issue where you need to disconnect both the wireless and Bluetooth cables inside then re-connect them. It was a bit of a pain to do this since the cables are quite small and require tiny hands to perform the operation. However, after reconnecting both cables and powering back my Alienware Aurora R4, my wireless network came back.

This is a very strange error. I cannot think of anything that would cause this issue. The only thing that may have occurred is the fan since it’s the closest moving component. But even then that makes little to no sense as it’s far enough where it should not affect the wiring.
