WICD Network Manager - Unable to Connect!!! :@

[nchung1988]

Samsung N150 Laptop

I installed WICD. I can see all the wireless networks, and wired works fine, but everytime I try connecting to a wireless network it says, "Unable to get IP"

Can someone help me remedy this? I am very new to ubuntu so I have no idea how to do anything...

When I go to Network Tools, I see:
Network Device: Loopback interface
IPv6 - Ip Address: ::1, Netmask: 128, Scope: Host
Network Device: wlan0
IPv6 - IP Address ::, Netmask 0, Scope Unknown
IPv4 - IP 0.0.0.0, Netmask 0.0.0.0

Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

What is the output of ifconfig in your terminal? Also, what distribution are you using? To find out, in a terminal type,

lsb_version -a

.

[nchung1988]

Hey thanks for the quick response!

lsb_version -a resulted in command not found...

but i went to About Ubuntu and it says im using
ubuntu 10.04 LTS lucid lynx

[jmwilli25]

type into a terminal

ifconfig

and post the output

[jmwilli25]

Also, sorry. It was actually
[CODE}lsb_release -a[/CODE]

we know now you got atheros and atheros is one of the best chips

first at all there is a button swich on and off network press it and try to connect to network if u cant connect than press it again and aagain try to connect if it doesnt work follow this steps:


open this web
http://wireless.kernel.org/download/...-wireless-2.6/

and download from the bottom latest driver

it is called

compat-wireless-2010-09-01.tar.bz22010-Sep-01 21:03:212.5Mapplication/octet-stream
u need just one cuz on that page is many drivers theyre all the same there is many cuz this one driver is updated every single day u need just one the latest one from the bottom

after you download it

extract it to whatever u want to

and cd to that directory

than make
and sudo make install

it will take a while cuz in this single driver u will get support for very many wifi and bluetooth devices

than restart you laptop

and the new driver will be installed

after u rebooted try to connect to internet it should work staright away

but if it doesnt again try to press the wireless button switch in your laptop

and than try it again if it doesnt work come back

in the future if u would like to update your driver just download the newer one and do the same as above make and sudo make install
