But wireless can't be found with wireless devices.

Thanks

Hello

Could you post the contents of /etc/network/interfaces?

I'm Having the exact same problem... Unfortunately I'm still kind of new at ubuntu and am not sure how to get the info your asking for. I am very interested to see how it turns out though. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide for this issue.

Hello

I suppose you use Gnome. You got to Places -> computer. You click filesystem -> etc -> network. There you will find a file interfaces, doubleclick on it to open, select the content and copy it into a reply.

Hello again, here is the info from the interfaces file.

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback







iface wlan0 inet dhcp

wireless-key :hidden:

wireless-essid :hidden:



auto wlan0

I have managed to get the wired connection working.. but wireless still doesn't work.
