I recently installed Ubuntu 10.4 on my new Dell Studio 1558. After installing the broadcom proprietary driver for my wireless card, the wireless for my laptop worked fine.
Today I installed Ubuntu 11.10 x64 on to my lenovo B570 using wubi.exe. After booting up, I discovered that I could not turn on wireless networking. I have a Atheros AR9285 wireless card.
I ran through the Ubuntu wireless troubleshooting guide, and the output suggest that the card has a driver, but it simply wont turn on!
I have recently just downloaded ubuntu 11.10 and before i installed, wireless worked perfectly in windows. Now that i have downloaded and installed ubuntu, i know longer have windows. I do not have a wired connection at my house, only a mifi, so my computer is useless now without internet. I really like the functionality of ubuntu, but need internet.
I'm having issues setting up Wireless for Ubuntu 12.04. I have my wireless card plugged in and from my knowledge, Ubuntu can read it, but, I can't enable wireless.
Whenever I try and turn off Airplane Mode or when I'm in the menu for Networking at the top of the screen and click "Enable Wireless", my computer freezes.
Anyone know what may be causing this issue?
It's hard to sumamrise this into a title, but it's simple.
On the Acer Aspire One, there's a button on the bottom to turn on and off the wireless card. In Ubuntu, it does work, but is sporadic and difficult, so I leave it alone.
Instead, I cilck on the wireless icon at the top and disable it.
I am using a Linksys wpc600n wireless card that works fine in windows xp, but will not even power on in ubuntu. I tried to use the pccardctl command to get the card to turn on but it still does not turn on. Please help.
i don't use wireless on my desktop so i would like it permanently disabled...
each time i boot up it's back and receving up to 80mb of data from an unknown connection via wireless (i dont use wireless)
I am having issues trying to turn on my wireless card.

Yesterday before I went to sleep, I still connect to my wireless access point, this morning when I start my laptop I don't see it in the list - there are some neighbors listed but not mine.
The WLAN is green, with my old N
