    Angry No Internet with Edimax EW-7728In After Upgrade to 12.04

    I was upgrading an out of date box last night and now there is no way to utilize the wireless card to connect to wireless. The wireless itself is fine as I am using it now with Windows 7 on my laptop. No Network Management icon shows in the upper right corner with the time, either. I can't really make sense of the solutions out there because they're either out of date or don't really do anything. Anyone know how I can connect to the internet again? I could use it fine pre-upgrade.

    I think your device uses the driver rt2800pci. Let's load it and see what happens and if there are any interesting messages. Please open a terminal and run and post:
    Code:
    sudo modprobe rt2800pci
    dmesg | grep -i rt2
    iwconfig
    Thanks.

    Wow, I made a typo, hold on, I'll run it again.

    I get this:

    We see that the module loaded early in the boot process, undoubtedly automatically. We also see you have a wireless interface:
    wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any
    Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm
    Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
    Power Management:off
    Does it scan?
    Code:
    sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
    No Network Management icon shows in the upper right corner with the time, either.
    Let's see if we can wake it up:
    Code:
    nm-applet &
    Let's try to fix this:
    WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-cups-usblp.conf.dpkg-remove, it will be ignored in a future release.
    Yikes!! What's in there? The contents will determine what we need to do to fix it:
    Code:
    cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-cups-usblp.conf.dpkg-remove
    Messy...

    I get the following messages:

    # cups talks to the raw USB devices, so we need to blacklist usblp to avoid

    Please do:
    Code:
    sudo mv /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-cups-usblp.conf.dpkg-remove /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-cups-usblp.conf
    That problem will be fixed.
    wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
    We wonder why. Let's see if there are warnings or errors here:
    Code:
    sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
    sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
    dmesg | grep wlan
    ** (nm-applet:2320): WARNING **: Could not initialize NMClient /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files
    ** Message: applet now removed from the notification area
    ...Googling...

    EDIT: Please try:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install --reinstall network-manager
    sudo apt-get install --reinstall network-manager-gnome
    sudo service network-manager start
    Now is it working?

    This just gets messier and messier. I think you are at a crossroads. Is it better and less risky to do a backup and reinstall from scratch or is it better to try a repair as suggested:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get -f install
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade
    sudo apt-get install --reinstall network-manager
    sudo apt-get install --reinstall network-manager-gnome
    sudo service network-manager start
    There are a lot of problems there and a repair might or might not go perfectly.

    Whichever approach you take, I'd back up NOW!!
