Okay, I know there's been plenty of issues with this (and the erractic pad, but I'll figure that one out later)...but I seriously cannot for the life of me figure this out.
I'm new to Linux and Ubuntu, so please be gentle! I downloaded Unbuntu a few nights ago and everything's fine except for not being able to connect to wifi. Now, I understand that I have to connect using an ethernet to fix the issue, but when I do (even after restarting my netbook and restarting my wifi), it STILL won't connect to the internet to download what I need to fix my wifi.
I'm leaving for Prague tomorrow and really only have tonight to really get this down. I have a mini mouse for now so all I need to focus on is this internet fail. If you're willing to walk me through it step by step (remember, I don't know coding or much indepth programing).
I have only had a few weeks worth of experience with linux, so I'm probably considered a newbie at this but I felt like giving it a shot. I just configured my new Toshiba Satellite A505-S6969 to jaunty. Most of the transition is going well but I'm stuck with a few issues, one of which is getting my wifi to work. Right now I'm working off of an ethernet cable.spci returns

Just bought this toshiba laptop m645-s4114 today @ bestbuy and I installed the ubuntu 11.04 successfully erasing the MS OS on it but later realized my wireless network doesn't work. I have tried and followed everything that was given on some linux ubuntu forums with no avail.
I can connect to the internet through wifi, but I cannot connect to anything on my network. I have a printer and a NAS, so I would really like for this to work again. I have a dell laptop with a Broadcom card.
I cannot authenticate on my wireless network. it keeps asking me the WPA key (which I correctly enter everytime it asks me to). I COULD do that before rebooting. Now I can't. Nice. What can I do? I've read somewhere that in the RC there where problems with the network applet I don't know what... can this be reconducted to that?
I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my IBM thinkpad a30p. now everything seems to work fine, except for the wifi card (edimax ew-7708il) i have. PCMCIA modules are loaded, but the card just doesn't appear in the network devices...
I'm new on debian, could someone help me out configuring out my wifi connection? I can't obtain an Ip i already installed b43xx for my chipset broadcom with wicd manager it seems to detect a wireless connection but when i tried to connect it can't obtain an ip.
I just bought this usb wireless adapter. (I also have a mac using wireless here and it works fine.) I installed ndiswrapper and ndisgtk and then used it to open the .inf file on the driver cd that came in the box. It must have worked reasonably well because if I click on network manager, I can see a number of networks, including my own. However, when I enter the security key for my network the icon spins for a while and then it asks for the key again. I've tried repeatedly and it never connects. I am definitely entering the key properly because I re-entered it on my mac and it worked.
I have attached a document with most of the information requested in the sticky.
Ok, so here's the deal. A few minutes ago, I was connected to my remote machine running Ubuntu 10.10. I changed the resolution of the screen while connected with VNC, but now I can't connect to the remote machine.
I'm at wits end...10.04 won't connect to a wireless network on my laptop, and that sort of makes it useless. What is the easiest way to revert back to 9.10? I have a dual-boot system with XP and I'd rather not have to start from scratch.
I tried to connect two ubuntu computers via crossover network. But sometimes they can connect and see each other and even ping each other and sometimes not! Each time, each of my PC's can ping it's own IP address but may not ping the other PC. I tried to disconnect cable, reconnect, disable network, enable it again, change IP address, disconnect via Network Manager Applet, reconnect and... . But when one of them don't want to connect I can't do this anyway! Anyone knows what must be the problem? Sometimes it took about many seconds to get them connected, and sometimes they can't connect for many hours. I must add that I have an ADSL modem on one of two Ubuntu PCs that connect via another cable.
I have just bought a HTC Desire Z mobile phone, running Android 2.2.
It has a feature to allow, via the USB cable, use of the Internet connection on a PC so that the phone can connect via that, rather than use the 3G or wi fi when those are not available or not wanting to use them. I want to download lots of applications without draining my 3G data allowance.
I have searched via Google, and some people have said that it just worked for them. They plugged in the phone to their Ubuntu PC and they could use the Internet on the phone.
But I cannot get it to work. I am new to Android, and still figuring out the phone. In the Settings/Wireless & Networks, there is an option for Internet Pass-through, which is trying to connect but never does. Then it comes up with a message saying: "Unable to connect to PC" and asks me to install HTC Sync software (which is Windows only).
Is there something I need to install in Ubuntu to get it to work?
I can not get NetworkManager to handle my Huawei E220 usb modem. I have searched forums and tried a lot of things. I have just upgraded from openSUSE 11.2 to openSUSE 11.3 using zypper. It seems to work fine except that umtsmon stopped to work, so for now my laptop has no connetion to internet at all. Here are some information about my settings:
I have used usb_modeswitch to make the device a modem. Am I right if I say that usb_modeswitch is a one time command, or does it swap the setting each time it is called? Anyhow lsusb states that the device is a modem. (All the time.) code...
My ubuntu won't connect to my WiFi. I've tried to read others stuff about people having this issue but it didn't make that much sense to me so could you maybe dumb down the computer language a tad? I don't know if I should or not as well but, I want to wait to install ubuntu till I have WiFi so I can update it while I install it, is that a good idea? But my computer is a HP Pavilion g6 if that matters.
I have been experiencing slight problems while attempting to connect to the internet via a wireless router. I can connect to my router perfectly fine on Vista and I could connect to my friends router while I was in Ubuntu, but I can't connect to my router while on Ubuntu. I've been entering the same code that will work when I'm in Vista, but it wont work while in Ubuntu.
i just have to say that i have no idea what im doing. A friend of mine put ubuntu on my dell mini and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it connect to my wireless internet at my house.
I have an old laptop that has bcm4306 (rev 3). I have used it to install several iterations of Ubuntu in past year or so, and the wifi worked just fine for Intrepid and Kermic, using b43-fwcutter.However, when I installed Lucid from scratch, I can't get the wife to work.It says it was installed properly, but I can't see any network around.
I have a Dell 500 laptop and it doesnt have WiFi and earlier when I used Windows, I bought a Belkin Enchanced Wireless USB Adapter to enable to connect to my home WiFi station and it worked perfectly.And then I instaled Ubuntu and when tried to instal Belkin I saw that it is Windows only!how to make it work on Ubuntu, cause I really like it but I can't "live" without WiFi.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 in my laptop and I can't connect to WIFI. When I boot with Windows 7, the connection is fine. I think the problem is with the drivers so I decided to boot on Windows 7 and look for the driver for Ubuntu. Problem is, I do not know what driver do I download. Here's an image of my Device Manager in Windows 7.
Having played around with ubuntu a fair bit I decided to breathe life into an old thinkpad with a pcmcia wireless card, by following the minimal install instructions and using lxde window manager etc.. Everything works fine apart from the fact that I cannot connect wirelessly. The card picks up and lists connections but whenever I have clicked on a connection the dail spins and then it gives up.I installed network-manager and managed to get nm-applet appearing in the sysTray otherwise I would not even have known there was wireless connections there.
I was thinking there maybe some conflict with another network manager, does this sound likely?
I'm having an issue recently with Ubuntu 10.04 x64. Connecting to my wifi is not working. I believe it is some kind of issue with the router. On Windows 7 the only way that I could connect to the net was by copying the network profile to a usb flashdrive from another computer and loading it mine. The wireless signal just keeps attempting to connect.
I'm a long-time Ubuntu user, and setting up my connection was as easy as putting in my WEP key, and that was it!
I installed Kubuntu 11.04, and it's really difficult. I located my wireless network, and after putting in my WEP key, it just says " Setting Network Address", while prompting me to re-enter my WEP/Hex key. After repeatedly entering the password, I get a red circle/slash icon in lieu of the network icon.
I have Ubuntu 10.04 on my EeePC 1000H. I don't use this computer often but it has always worked before... I suspect an update did this to me. I've recently swapped wireless routers but all my other machines have been able to connect to the new router. I can see the SSID and the signal strength is high but when I try to connect to it, it just attempts for a long time then asks me for my password again. I am currently connected to wired network.
I installed Ubuntu 11.04 yesterday and my wireless didn't work so I searched a little and found a way to make it work; Uninstalled bcmwl-kernel-source and installed firmware-b43-lpphy-installer and b43-fwcutter. And it worked. But today I accidentally pressed the "turn off wireless" button on my laptop. I obviously pressed it again and thought it would work but it doesn't. Now I find networks and stuff but I can't connect to them. It tries for awhile and then asks me to enter the password which I do (it is correct) and then it tries to connect for a few minutes again and then it asks me for the password again.

I'm having a problem to connect to the network at home via wifi, open or protected. Using ubuntu 11.04, attached are more details. I've managed to get a successful connection on an open network at work.
