Toshiba L675D with ubuntu 10.4 wireless problem
I've installed Ubuntu on my new laptop. Everything seems to work, including my wireless card, except that there are about 6 wireless networks I can see from any other computer, including my own network. The new laptop only see's one network, and it's not mine. Any ideas how to force it to re-scan? using the base Ubuntu wireless utility. Is there another utility that might be better?

I can now see and connect to my wireless router, but still cannot connect to the internet through my browser. the system was able to download the driver for my video card though.
Attached is a screenshot of my network manager information iwconfig output lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 802.11bg ESSID:"belkin54g" Nickname:"rtl8191SEVA2" Mode:Managed Frequency=2.417 GHz Access Point: 00:30:BD:FC:9B:B3 Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Retry:on RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=88/100 Signal level=-61 dBm Noise level=-114 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 ifconfig output eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 88:ae:1d:52:31:60 inet addr:192.168.2.6 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::8aae:1dff:fe52:3160/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:40067 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:21856 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:58464953 (58.4 MB) TX bytes:2352730 (2.3 MB) Interrupt:27 Base address:0xa000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:20 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:20 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1490 (1.4 KB) TX bytes:1490 (1.4 KB) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 70:f1:a1:d5:f3:e6 inet addr:192.168.2.4 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::72f1:a1ff:fed5:f3e6/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:27 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2334 (2.3 KB) TX bytes:4941 (4.9 KB) Interrupt:18 Memory:ffffc900112e8000-ffffc900112e8100 Any suggestions? |
In your web browser have you enabled proxy by mistake? It's not logic to download a file and not load a web page!

After finding this thread I turned off WPA authentication, and whalla! ///i can connect and am writing this now via wirless connection. unfortunately I now have an unsecured network. I'm going to experiment with other authentication protocols. |
