Wireless not working

**riptreeper** · April 27th, 2008

Ok I did that, BUT, i used the program that the user above me suggested and now I don't have the default wireless/network manager.

How do I get it back?

Sorry about that.

no worries rip. It should work as well, it just replaces the NM that comes default with Ubuntu. I just read about it tonight/this morning myself in my searches trying to help you out.

The only other thing I could do for you tonight is hand off the Google search I pulled up (the best one at least)... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&c...tu&btnG=Search

I did another with your system model, but it only pulled up this thread... lol!

I've gotta sign off, it's late, I'm not a spring chicken anymore, plus I've done all I know to do. Will sleep on it though and check back after my domestic duties are done tomorrow.

Thanks again to Sunflower1970 for giving more advanced help.

Good luck riptreeper... It's gonna be something amazingly simply probably.

Absolutely thanks so much for all you have done I really appreciate all your help.

Sunflower, how would I get back the default wireless manager?

**riptreeper** · April 27th, 2008

I am hitting the hay for tonight

If anyone happens upon this and can help me get back the default network manager that runs from the top panel that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

riptreeper To get back Network Manager, you'll need to connect to your wired connection, then open up Synaptic and do a search for Network Manager, and reinstall it, or open up your terminal and type in "sudo apt-get install network-manager"

HTH.

Ok sweet thanks. I got it working.

I had to turn off security for my router leaving open my network which is a bad idea but I don't have any other options for right now.

I have a linksys router. Could that be the reason for the difficulties?

I have been searching all over and trying different things but nothing seems to work. I will keep trying. So I will probably stick around this thread to see if we can get this solved.
