    Arrow [SOLVED] wireless not connecting to network

    Hi all. Its been a while since I've used ubuntu again..so to get right to the point. I have my wireless adapter installed and all of the drivers, the wireless is detecting the networks but is not allowing me to connect to my network. I clicked the network, entered the passkey..but when I try firefox, no luck. Please Help. Thanks in advance.

    I think I'll not be able to help, but maybe post the output of ifconfig or iwconfig, it'll help others to help you.

    Did you go to network > (unlock it) > wireless > properties > uncheck roaming > select your network and encryption type
    then just type in the password
    I also selected automatic DHCP or something
