Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue.

Help with wireless with Ubuntu

maxwell smart · 2010-10-17 15:17:09

HI I was given a new laptop yesterday. It has Ubuntu as its O/S and I'm having trouble connecting to the wireless network at home. Is there an automatic finder or do I need to enter the ip address? Very lost!

Open the command prompt, and type ifconfig - Check and see if wlan0 exists in there. If it is - It's just a matter of using ubuntu's wifi client manager - there should be a wireless icon on your taskbar, left click on it and it should drop down a list of available networks. Check if yours is listed there.
