I recently reinstalled 10.04. The wireless worked fine for a week or so, but not it cant get a connection for more than a few seconds. Ive downloaded Wicd, and after an eternity of trying to connect, it tells me that no IP address could be established. I can connect no problem when I plug in via Ethernet cable. Nothing when I try to use the wireless though.

Are you aware of the wireless trouble shooting guide?

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide

Try some of the checks in that guide.

If you have no luck with the guide please do


lscpi | grep -i net > Wireless.txt



iwconfig >> wireless.txt

and
lshw -C network >> wireless.txt

and post the wireless.txt file here :-)

Might be worth trying


rfkill all

first :-)
