Stories similar to [ubuntu] startup process always looking for wired network

I tried to install a recent kernal update that got hung up and wouldn't finish so I aborted the update. After that I could no longer use $sudo modprobe b43 to initiate my wireless connection. My strategy is to establish a wired connection, make sure all updates could be installed, and then try to establish the wireless connection again. However, I cannot establish a wired connection.

hi,

I'm still new to ubuntu, but i'm getting realy frustraded because I don't know how to setup a network between the 2 computers where I have ubuntu 10.10 installed on.

I have a wireless router for the internet down in the basement and a second, wired connection for my pc's upstairs.

I'm using one as a download "server" and the other is my main desktop. When I try to set-up a wired c

I'm on Ubuntu Maverick (10.10). I've read a few threads regarding wired connection problems, but haven't found a solution yet.

The problem appears after I connect to a wireless network. When I disconnect wireless and plug in an internet cable, the wired connection is not recognized at all.

I am having a problem connecting to wired connection from router. I used to have 11.10 where I tried to establish DSL connection. I tried it doing through the terminal using some pppoeconf commands.

When I reboot my system, under the Ubuntu loading sign, I saw messages like configuring network; wait 60 seconds more for connection, etc.

Then after 2-3 minutes, Ubuntu home screen appears.

So, I have a wireless connection and I want to setup my linux box to share it with my LAN.

Sounds straight-forward, and I'd have no problem doing this setting up my router with DD-WRT as a bridge. However, the WiFi connection is an ad-hoc network using ICS through my Windows Mobile Verizon phone and the router won't connect to it.

Hey guys,

Hopefully this is a quick and simple question.

I'm running F17 and I need to connect my machine to a local group of computers tied together with a network switch.

I am on Ubuntu 12.04, 64-bit, fresh install. I have a wired connection (eth1 interface), the IP address is assigned by DHCP, and PEAP authentication (wpa_supplicant) is set up.

My problem is that network does not start at boot. I have to log in without internet connection, and then I have to start network-manager manually (sudo start network-manager).

After upgrading 12.04 LTS, my wired connection works but no wireless connection found.

I recently bought a Lenovo K23 laptop with which I am much pleased. The wireless card works off a Broadcom proprietary driver, and I eventually figured out how to install that and get wireless.

However, in the process I nuked my ethernet capabilities.
