Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information.

To configure your network card Do you use network-manager or you configure it manually editing /etc/network/interfaces?

Hello Javier,

thanks for your quick reply.

By use of the information logged under Bug #94859 I managed to 'see' the wireless adapter in: system/configuration/network/connections as well as in the output of iwconfig.

That's how far I got up to now. I could not configure it so that it works. But this might just be a user problem.

For your information: I use the hardware offered bei www.fon.com (usb adapter as well as wifi router). Propably need to find someone who configured ubuntu for use with fonero router already.

Thanks,

Theo

I'm a fonero and not special configuration is needed. Only connect to MyPlace or FON_AP nets and fun! ;-)

I do not see MyPlace or FON_AP nets in system/configuration/network/connections. Rather wlan0 and something similar. At least not on my ubuntu box (they are up and running as I can connect via my company laptop using windows).

Hello Theo,

wlan0 is the name of your card. Use the network-manager icon to detect your wireless networks and connect to it (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager)
