Unable to connect to WiFi network after updates

http://askubuntu.com – I'm running 12.04, and had no problems with WiFi until I installed updates last night (there were quite a few, and I'm not sure how to see what was installed). It might be unrelated, but it's the only thing that's changed. I can no longer connect to my home WiFi network. Some networks (like my Android hotspot) work fine, but connecting to our BT Home Hub just times out and prompts for authentication as well. The laptop is an HP EliteBook 8470p, which has a 'Centrino Advanced-N 6205' card (reported in lshw, I'm not sure if it's a brand name for another card). Here's what's in my syslog, the (HowTos)

Stories similar to Unable to connect to WiFi network after updates

Hi!I just bought a Lenovo ThinkPad X230 with the Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (rev 34) card. The first thing I tried on it was a Fedora live USB key I had. No problem connecting to my WiFi. Next I fired up the Arch install, and was able to get the WiFi to work using wpa_supplicant and its catch all example (with relevant modifications).

help! I can't connect to wifi after logging in to WIfi Hotspot. after connecting to pc/laptop, the error message pops out "The network may no longer be in range". my phone is just 1 inch away from my laptop and I just install the HTC Sync. please help!!!I also installed Foxfi and wifi hotspot - wifi theter.

Ubuntu 12.04.1 with all updates installed. Laptop Lenovo Thinkpad X230 with Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205.

WiFi sometimes becomes extremely slow. Often this occurs when I wake the system from suspend and connect to a different network. I find no obvious clues in system logs. /etc/init.d/network-manager restart doesn't help, but a reboot does.

Support Wifi Problem 33 weeks 4 days ago

This is my first Android, the Micromax A 87 Ninja 4, and I have problems with it already! Its just a day since I've bought it.

It doesn't connect to my wifi network. I have both my desktop and laptop connected to the same network, so it isn't a network problem.

When I switch on wifi and key in the password (once), it says connecting and then disconnects. I do not know what the problem is!

Note: this question is distinct from "How to disable automatically connecting to WiFi?", as I do not wish to disable automatic WiFi connection in general.

Problem: The Ubuntu WiFi module connects automatically in priority with WiFi networks without a password, even if there is a already known password-protected WiFi network nearby.

Okay, so here i am using my touchpad on my personal wifi at home, and the school's wifi when i'm, you guessed it, at school. They both have passwords and they were working fine. Yesterday, i tried to log into my home network because for some reason it did not connect.

I have a brand new Neo. I first connected to my home's WiFi without problems. When I tried to connect to other WiFi networks, in many cases it fails by not being able to get an IP address. It then tries continously and never fully connects. When I went back home I can experience the same problem. I'm running 2.3.4 and the WiFi sleep policy is set to never (original setting).

hi i had windows 8 and it crashed, so i decided that i would install Ubuntu to replace it. i installed 12.10 and my wireless card (for wifi and wimax) will not connect to any network. my computer us an asus u56-e with a Intel centrino wireless-n 6150 wifi wimax card.

Hi everybody, I've looked around the forums but haven't found a solution.I just installed Chakra 2012.02 on a Acer Timeline 8020TG and cannot connect to my wifi network.I inserted the password correctly and after a while trying to have an IP it starts "Waiting for authorization" and fail to connect.The wifi card is a Atheros AR928X.On the same laptop I've installed Ubuntu
