linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I'm unable to connect to a wireless network at home. On my other OS (which is sadly Windows Vista) i can connect to it without a problem. The network is encrypted by WEP with a 13 character key. I don't understand why I cannot connect to it under my Linux. Also I've succesfully connected to another network at my girlfriend's house which was protected by a 10 character password, without a problem of any kind. What should I do? (Hardware)

can only connect to one network 13 weeks 17 hours ago

Just installed Ubuntu 12.04 a couple of weeks ago on my HP laptop (completely replaced Windows). Everything seemed fine until a few days ago when I was unable to connect to the internet with my wireless network at home. I also tried three other wireless networks and also tried to connect by ethernet cable. These are all networks that I have been able to connect to in the past with no problems.

Hi All,

I am new to linux/Ubuntu and need some help!

I have a new Dell Precision M6400 core I7 laptop. i am not able to connect to wireless network.

i tried all options in the config guide but still was not successful. In the additional Drivers window i see that it is using Broadcom STA wireless driver.

Hello. I brought my computer with Ubuntu 9.10 installed alongside Windows Vista home for the Christmas break. I turned it on today in hopes that I could get on, play around with Linux a little bit, and then do some homework on it. Unfortunately, I intend to get some software which I desperately need to do my work, and this requires internet usage.

I can't seem to establish a wireless Internet connection with my router. It seems my computer is avoiding it whenever possibly while trying to connect to it by automatically switching to a different network and then issuing a "Failed to connect to [different network name] report" a few times before finally giving up.

While my wireless is generally working, there's one problem: I can't connect to my home network through it on my laptop.

[ubuntu] Auto connect problem 38 weeks 6 days ago

I am currently using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I have a problem with auto connecting to my network.

The problem occurs sometimes when my wireless network drops out - which happens at least 3 times a day. Usually there is no problem, but from time to time the system doesn't want to connect to the network.
