Hi,

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04, however, I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly but I can connect to the wireless network. Wired connection works fine. I have read people have had similiar issues.

iwconfig

Code:

lo        no wireless extensions.

problem solved by

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

Of course, use the actual name of your driver, if not iwlwifi. Write one line:

Code:

options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1

Proofread carefully, save and close gedit.
