Asus n13 wireless adapter

Have you placed any extra settings in Network Manager? if so, they need to be removed. Normally, NM will do all the setting without assistance, aside from the password. NM should be set as attached.

I assume, from your scan results, that your network is set to WEP encryption. How many characters are in your key?

ten characters, no i have 12.04 clean slate, no adjusting or setting anything up, i never connected to web at all, except tether on phone

Hi chili I was hoping you would stop by and help out - is it possible that the OP's previous attempts to fix have left some cruft around? The syslog seems to be showing an issue with DHCP and I wondered if that might be a result of a conflict with wicd?

Mar - did you purge wicd when you reinstalled network-manager?

sudo apt-get purge wicd

yes i ran that code when you told me ....i will check when i did it. But im 100% sure i ran this code on termnal

[Marthewicked]

sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manage*

theen it did not work so we did this code


Also I am wondering about this link primarily with the suggestion of dumping network manager for wicd.

The commands suggested to do this are as follows:
Code:

sudo apt-get install wicd

Code:

sudo apt-get purge network-manager

[Marthewicked]

sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manage*

i am sure i did the code or to my knowledge followed everything.....double checked whenever i entered but im human and possibility is there

i ran now and this is what i got,

mar@mar-Vostro-200:~$ sudo apt-get purge wicd

OK so do you have another package manager open (synaptic or software center)? if so close it then try the sudo apt-get purge wicd again

also can we just check which DHCP client is running (dhclient versus dhcpcd)

ps -e|grep dhc

Ok and now if you restart n-m (or go the whole hog and reboot)? Any improvement?

i rebooted and still the same but it does not ask for passcode, just refreshing then says disconnected

Let's see the syslog again, please:

sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep etwork | tail -n20

It certainly ought to be asking for your key.

The Asus N13 can be tricky iirc because different generations use different chipsets / drivers

Since it's a USB device we will need either

lsusb

(not lspci) or

lshw -C network

while the device is plugged in please

mar@mar-Vostro-200:~$ lsusb
