No Wireless Connection

I am new to linux and My distribution is Kubunto. My wireless Icon shows that my connection to my router has been deactivated and will not allow me to connect to internet or give me an option to connect with a password. I cannot find the application in kubunto that walks me through the connection process. Is there such a program and what is its name. Thanks from a newbie

I'm a Newbie and I'm wanting to know if it's possible to have a automatic script to connect to my home wireless connection after it has failed to locate an ethernet connection (and before logon).

If so, what details should be in the script and where should the script be placed?

Thank you for any assistance you may provide.

I bought an Asus Wireless Router RT-N66R yesterday, and it has successfully hooked up to everything around my home, except for my personal laptop. I run 14.04 Trusty Tsar on it. The wireless works for about 30 seconds before the computer stops recognizing it, and then I have to reconnect it again by clicking on the network name. Everything else in the house works great with it, and for the 30 or so seconds it stays connected to my laptop, my laptop works great as well. Also, when I am connected to Facebook, it tends to let me continue IMing people, even if I have no connection anywhere else. I can usually google my way to an answer, but I am really stumped on this one, please help!

Just dual botted Linux mint with elementary OS just because I wanted to try it out to. I use a USB mobile broadband connection in my linux mint 17 and it work fine but doesn't work in elementary OS. I can't get wireless connection to work either. Everything works fine in linux mint but when I plug the USB mobile broadband modem in elementary OS, it wont even detect the USB modem. I guess I just need to install some drivers and update to ge my connection to work but I can't do that without an internet connection. Please help me. I need to also try out this linux destro.

Applogy: I'm also sorry about my English. I'm AFRIKAN!

Best Regards.

The Internet connection icon in the notification area of my desktop panel shows the status of my computer's connection to my LAN and hence to the www – at least, it did from the date of first connection, in late 2013, until about December of 2014. It was infallible. Then, shortly before Christmas last year, router trouble on the LAN meant that no Internet service was available for the best part of a week whilst repairs/replacements were effected. Restoration of the LAN brought all four of my computers back on line (1 Linux Mint and 3 Windows XP) Ostensibly nothing had, nor needed to be, changed, as far as net connection addresses were concerned. The XP computers simply picked up where they had left off some days earlier but the Linux machine returned with a disabled LAN connection icon that has remained in that state ever since. Nothing else is affected, I continue to log on and off as normal and enjoy the same network services as before but nothing will now persuade the connection icon to change its disconnected state. If I right click the icon, and then click 'Connection Information', I get, “No valid active connections found,” which is at complete variance with the facts. I have used the 'Edit Connections' option but can find nothing apparently amiss. Wired Connection 1 appears to have retained its previous settings so the loss of function is a bit of a mystery. Anyone got any ideas?

Hello,

I am looking for a live linux distro that is able to recognize more hardware by "default" without installation. For example, when I borrow a laptop/netbook, I want to be able to boot the live linux distro and be able to have wireless access to internet (at least most of the time).

I know how to get the wireless working if I have internet access to begin with, but sometimes I do not have a wired connection or am not allowed to install stuff.

I would like to try many live distros on different laptops, but it would be hard to convince other people to give me their laptops to do that; so I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks

First time Linux Mint user and fist time poster to this forum. Need to install a Linux distro on my family member's HP Mini 1000, an older netbook with minimal hardware (1 GB memory stick, Intel Atom N270 processor, 80 GB ATA HDD, and it runs XP SP3. . I advised her to uninstall XP and buy Windows 7, but she doesn't want to spend the $93. So ...

I have been testing different Linux distros from flash drive on my HP Probook 4530S laptop. Have tried Ubuntu 14x and now Mint, which I prefer. Ubuntu wouldn't boot to desktop on the netbook after choosing "Use without installing." Mint runs OK on it, but I can't configure the wireless connection. I suspect that either the network hardware isn't compatible or I am missing something when trying to manually configure the settings. I read some info from the Mint web site about this issue, but not sure about whether the Mini's wireless card is compatible: Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN. Does updating Windows drivers help with this?

TIA,

Don

I have a WiFi dongle that said to support GNU/Linux, however no drivers were found on the CD, after hours of research i found this and installed the driver, I'm pretty sure my device is listed as supported, but the device is still not recognized, it is listed on lsusb command, but not recognized by any WiFi program like WiFi Radar and wireless-tools, also when i use the iwconfig command, this is what i see, i really need this wireless connection working, can you help, please?

Hello,
I am a long time Windows user. When XP got old I was like everyone else. Left with what to do. I purchased copies of Win 7 & got those working ok. I am just so tired of Microsoft products. So I took some time & I have read and researched several articles about Linux, Ubuntu, Zorin et al. Earlier this week I loaded a new Zorin OS9 from a DVD into a HP Compaq nx9420. The install worked flawlessly. Damn it is such an easy product to use. Bravo! I have an issue that has been experienced by many newbies. I found several answers to this same question. I read through several replies and went into terminal and typed in the directions. I am still stumped. I need some assistance. I hope someone has the time. I cannot connect to the internet through wireless.

The laptop has a Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG Wireless network card.

I typed in:

Code:
dmesg | grep iwl

Here is the reply:

Hello, My issue is very common but, not able to resolve it.

Issue I am facing with my Linux (RHEL-5 32-bit) machine, where I am not able to connect to internet.

DWR-113 - D-Link Router is configured for 3G dongle (Vodafone India) - This setup is done via WiFi and not using the provided LAN cable from Win7 machine.

Internet is working absolutely fine in case of Wireless but, at same time when LAN cable is used internet is not working. [Able to ping to Router IP i.e. 192.168.0.1)

Similarly, from Linux box, ping to Router IP is working [LAN plugged] but, Internet not working. IP of linux machine: 192.168.0.60

Also, able to get the console connection of Linux from Windows box..[Windows connected to Router via WiFi and Linux connected to Router via LAN cable]

Please suggest how to get rid of this problem so that Internet will work on Linux via LAN cable.

Many Thanks,
