    cannot get wireless connection

    Hello,I am running ubuntu studio on a dual boot dell precision t3400.Iam using separate hard drives one for win xp 32bit and the other for ubuntu studio 11.04 32 bit.I am using a actiontec M1000 with a 2wire wireless dongle.The first install worked automatically but I had to reinstall Ubuntu Studio and now I cannot connect at all.I don't get the list of wireless spots with my connection to choose and the network icon in the right hand corner has a red X in it.

    Re: cannot get wireless connection

    Is the package "linux-firmware" installed? Ubuntu-Studio doesnt use the network-manager per default anymore (did you install it?) because of its permanent scanning. This disturbs the "real time" kernel. Please show:

    Code:
    cat /etc/network/interfaces
    cat /etc/resolv.conf

    Re: cannot get wireless connection

    You added the router IP address 192.168.79.1 (see /etc/resolv.conf) as static IP address of your PC (see /etc/network/interfaces)
