Need help with wireless on Ubuntu 9.1

[darbielove]

I just installed ubuntu 9.1 and I can't get my wirless internet working. I had it working in the previouse version of ubuntu. The light does come on. I have a compaq presario c571nr. What should I do?

did you try right clicking the network connections icon and see if the enable networking and wireless is checked?

[darbielove]

I'll try that.

I experienced a loss of wireless connectivity also when I upgraded to 9.10. I connected to my router via ethernet and that worked. Apparently some wireless support was dropped in this new OS. I reverted to 9.04 by installing it on a separate partition, hoping that I will find an answer to the 9.10 problem so I can return to it as my main OS.

I haven't been able to find anything useful on this forum or Google to fix the problem....yet. The answers are out there (I hope).

are you seeing networks and cant connect? or you dont even see any?

I am having the same issue.

cant see any networks. I can see plenty on my other laptop (running Hardy), and I used wubi to install 9.10, and the windows partition can see wireless networks, but the the ubuntu partition!
plug in a wire and i can connect fine.

argh!!!
