Wireless networks only sometimes showing up

[LouisaLou]

Thank you! I can send a few screenshots if that would help...but I think basically it's working the way that it should, except that for some reason that one network doesn't show up.

hi, sorry but i am a newbie to.

Am having a similar problem,
im running on ubuntu 10.04 and managed to install my d-link dwa-120 wirless g180 usb adopter.
The problem is i can actually see my lan but cannot access it nor can i access the wep/wan/gan.
my card can be detected but cannot connect
what to do.....HELP

Try to disable power saving on the card. I'm not familiar with HP Mini but I think you could try sudo /sbin/iwpriv eth1 set_power 6

You find the logical name eth1,wlan0 or wifi0 using

sudo /sbin/ifconfig

and eventually replace eth1 in the iwpriv command

Help!

Not only did it not work, but now that I am back at my office (where it usually works) wireless is not working here either! When I try to scan for networks using the command line I get the message ¨Failed to read scan data: Invalid argument¨. Wicd and Network Manager are both running but can´t find any wireless networks. Any ideas?

Hi,

I installed WiFi Radar, and that seems to contain all the commands that you laid out, uncaspi. However, I still am failing to get connected wirelessing. I can see some wireless networks, but it gets hung up trying to obtain an IP address. I've been playing around with turning things on and off for a few hours now. Anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks!!
