My Mom bought a laptop last year, it was a low end laptop. It's a Toshiba Satellite C650 I think.

I notice that once the laptop has been idle for awhile, the wireless internet disables, and I have to restart it to get it working again.

The laptop is set up the same as the rest of the computers, and non of the others have any problem with it.

No wireless on Ubunto 12.10 25 weeks 11 hours ago

Okay, so I'm pretty new to the whole Ubuntu thing. I installed it yesterday alongside Windows 8, and it installed fine. Then I started it up and tried to connect to my wireless router. It wouldn't give me the option and the only thing that I could find was Edit Connections thing along the top which I didn't understand at all and just ended up confusing me.

I just bought a Toshiba C855D satellite yesterday and installed 12.04 this morning without a problem. on the first boot up, I had no issues with wireless at all until I installed updates and restarted my computer. At this point, even after disabling and reenabling networking, I am not being shown any wireless connections that are definitely in range.

Hi Gang, I have an older Toshiba laptop - a Satellite Pro 6100 - that I've just converted to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Everything seems to work just find except the wireless 802.11 connection.

My wired connection is working just fine. I enable wireless in the network connections menu and I see a list of the local wireless networks.

Ok, so I installed BT R3 next to windows 7 on my Toshiba C855 s5214 laptop. When I start Wicd it recognizes and connects to my network and the wireless light is on. Whenever I open up a web browser the internet stops working, the wireless light remains on, and Wicd cannot find any networks until I reboot and am thus forced to repeat the process. My wireless card is a Realtek RTL8188CE.

Hi Everyone, I just installed 10.04 on my laptop and the wireless connection does not work, I plug in the wired and it works great. If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
