Hi, is stephenlarkin the network you want to connect too?

Please see if you can change your wpa/wpa2 setting in your router to just wpa2.

Do you still have wicd installed? Did you completely remove network mangager because in the error messages it shows network manager.
Thank you

[ajcjh]

Yes stephenlarkin. I guess I don't know how to completely remove network manager. The router says security mode is WPA2 personal, it does not say anything about WPA/WPA2...
OK got rid of network manager, nm-tool won't work, wicd sees stephenlarkin as WPA2, new ouput is:

Hi, this shows it is both.

stephenlarkin: Infra, 00:22:6B:48:FC:3C, Freq 2462 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 100 WPA WPA2

You have to have your computer wired to the router then in a broswer type 192.168.0.1 into the address bar and hopefully that will bring up a web page with your router settings in it.

Then click on security settings and have a look, also look in wireless settings in the internet icon in the top right corner of your desktop by clicking on edit connection then wireless.

Please post the result of this command.

ps aux | grep nm-apple

did you use software center to install wicd? and is that how you uninstalled network manager?
Thank you

[ajcjh]

It is interesting since in the router wireless security settings there isn't even an option to choose both....and security just has firewall settings and VPN passthrough.

$ ps aux | grep nm-apple
jupiter 2801 0.0 0.0 13448 900 pts/0 S+ 21:54 0:00 grep --color=auto nm-apple

I used software center to install wicd, and uninstall network manager. I then went into synaptic package manager and did a complete removal of the rest.

[wildmanne39]

Hi, try it like this please:

sudo apt-get --purge remove network-manager-gnome

Then reboot.
Thank you

[ajcjh]

still no luck
Thank you for all your time and help with this

[wildmanne39]

Hi, you did an upgrade and not a clean install right? that could be part of the problem.

Please letś create this file since you said it does not exist.

gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/iwlagn.conf

Add

options iwlagn 11n_disable=1

Then reboot.
Thank you

[netxph]

I have exactly the same problem (well, it has been since I keep jumping from one Linux OS to the other).

Maybe these information will help *Linux* experts out there.

* Last working Linux Kernel version for our iwlagn is 2.6.38, any version before that will not work, and any versions after that will not work either. Upgrading/Downgrading to 2.6.38 was my only option, but then, it's too much work to downgrade/upgrade since I need to build different drivers to this version as well.
* Tested this with Debian and Ubuntu
* Wicd/Update NM does not solve it
* Adding/removing the 11n_disable config does not work either
* Changing from 64-bit to 32-bit does not work either
* Tried changing different frequencies in my router does not work either

I've been waiting for months now for the solution for this. This is what I feared with Ubuntu 11.10 when I learned that they are getting 3.x kernel

[PatrickZ]

I also have a 64 bit system that can't connect to wireless after 11.10 upgrade. I'm running the ubuntustudio version. When clicking on the network manger applet it states that both wired and wireless connections are "unmanaged". The wired connection works anyway, the wireless does not.
