Laptop does not connect to wireless network after reboot. (Ubuntu 9.04)
Hi everyone, I have a weird problem.
I use a Presario V2000 and Ubuntu 9.04, with Wicd as my network manager. I use restricted drivers for my wireless card. Everything works fine, I can locate my WPA network and connect to it without any issues. However, when I reboot the computer, even though the network will still show up, Wicd won't connect to it, instead it will try to "authenticate password" and never connect UNLESS I change the broadcast channel of my router, or change the SSID name. Using the default network manager for Ubuntu 9.04 gives the same problem.
I know it's not a problem with my router, since I also have an iMac and another PC running Windows XP that works just fine everytime.
Thank your the quick answer. I tried that, however I still get the same results: I can authenticate the WPA key just fine, but when I turn off or reboot the computer, it can no longer authenticate, unless I change the channel of the router or turn it on and off.
