Unable to acces network.

Hi all,
I am new to Ubuntu and I am having a problem with my network card on my dell inspiron 580. It doesn’t seem to be able to connect to my LAN network. I am using a freshly installed version of Ubuntu 12.10, with updates installed. I am currently using a wireless dongle to get to the internet. Here are some frequently asked prints.

berend@HAL9000:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces

What do I have to do to get it running?

Are you running Ubuntu Desktop, with NetworkManager?

Assuming you are, what do you see under Connection Information?

I restarted a few times and it now seems to work. I have absolutely no idea what went wrong and i hope it stays like this. Thx, for looking.
