http://askubuntu.com – I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop yesterday and it connected to the wireless fine. Then I took it to school, put it on their wired connection, downloaded some stuff, and now the wireless doesn't work. At first it would detect networks, but not connect. I restarted it and now it can connect, but it acts like it doesn't have internet in the browser. Wired connection still works fine on it. I know it isn't the network because my ipad is working on the wireless connection fine. I found another solution on here switching the security settings for the wireless, but this is the apartment's wir (HowTos)

Wireless and wired connection 27 weeks 3 days ago

I have an oloder dell laptop, I have Netgear which I have been using just fine. I now just moved and am having trouble connecting to the internet. My connection says auto ethernet, and connected. I can not tho connect to the internet{my wired connection is not working}. Also I noticed my fn keys are not working, where I used to be able to turn on my wireless using the fn keys, I no longer can.

So I've got a HP 6735b laptop.

When I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on it, I didn't have any wireless. After I downloaded the drivers via wired connection everything worked fine.

Now I've upgraded to 12.10 and I can connect to wireless, but it doesn't allow me to browse.

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 just installed Kubuntu 12.04 on a new computer with an Asus motherboard containing onboard NIC. The onboard NIC is enabled in BIOS. I don't happen to have a spare network card to test with. The internet connection is via a D-Link router, either wired or wireless via T-Link USB wireless adapter. The internet connection works fine for other computers on the network (2 wired and 1 wireless).

I just recently installed Ubuntu 12.04, replacing windows vista on my Inspiron and it wont connect to the internet by any means. It won't detect any wireless networks and when I try the ethernet cord, I can see "wired connection 1" in the network manager but the symbol on the panel is a wireless signal with 0 bars. Furthermore when I open firefox, it says there isn't a connection.

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