Hi everyone,
I'm hoping you can help with a query. I'm running Ubuntu Linux 9.10 and have been connected to my wireless modem/router (linksys) without any trouble.
Until today, when I foolishly decided to change my system password. I was prompted for my network password which I thought I had correct, but apparently didn't. Now, when I click on my icon for internet connections the 'enable wireless' button is unchecked, and greyed out, so I can't click it back on.
I logged into my modem/router and re-set the password, and that's all okay.
In the meantime I'm connected via the cable to the router.
I checked the settings and my network is disabled as per below. I've unplugged and restarted the linksys, and also my laptop several times.
I know this set up works, I just need to find the 'switch' to turn the wireless networking back on.
Thanks for your help!
Lisa
