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.
View 3 RepliesI 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

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 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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 7 Replies View RelatedHaving 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?
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'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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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 am running 10.10 on a Toshiba NB255 netbook. Wireless works find for me at home and worked last week at a hotel. At home I just use WEP, and my office network uses WPA. I can connect just fine from my work laptop but not from this netbook. The network shows up fine in the network manager and it asks for the WPA password, but doesn't establish a connection. Every once in a while it will say it is connected and has full strength but I can't ping anything, and within a minute or so it drops again. IIRC yesterday it connected via wireless and actually worked for maybe a minute before dropping at it hasn't worked since. Like I said, this has worked on other wireless networks.

So recently we switched Internet Providers. While we had Bellsouth, my laptop would connect to our wireless internet flawlessly everytime. However, we just switched to Charter because it was both cheaper and faster. But now, my laptop will not connect to our wireless. If I hook it up to an Ethernet cord, it connects just fine. I believe they gave us a new modem/router or whatever it is that sends out the wifi signal.
I have tried to connect with this laptop on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Backtrack 4. On Ubuntu and Linux Mint, after I enter the correct WEP key, it sits there and tried to connect for a minute or two, but then the window pops up asking for the WEP key again, even though it's still filled out.
When I tried connecting on Backtrack, it told me that it could not obtain an IP address.
I think I have unique problem. I have a d-link DWL G510 rev c.(Austrailian) WiFi card in my pc which is detected as

Now sometimes it detects my wifi router and shows its ssid in nm-applet. but when I try to connect, it tries for 3 or 4 minutes and then fails. for most of time it even does not finds my router.
I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 and everything went OK. It also found Wireless Networks. I am connecting to the same I do on Windows 7(yes dual boot).It asks for WEP, I put it and says Connection Established. But, when I open up Firefox to navigate to Google, it waits for 20 seconds and after that it pops an error that it couldn't establish a connection.
