ubuntu 9.04 wireless issue

newbie09 · May 2009

Hi recently installed Ubuntu 9.04 via Wubi ... but for some reason it does not allow me to get onto my secured wireless network.

it detects it and i am able to connect wired but when i try to connect to my wireless network it keeps asking for a password/key ... i enter it but it keeps prompting for it

not sure what i need to do ... when i go into the properties of my wireless connection i try to make changes but it does not take them

i have a Asus notebook A8S series with Vista ... my wireless works in Vista

i used the command lspci -nn and my wireless card is Intel Pro\wireless 4965 AG or AGN

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-netbook-25/problem-with-lenovo-r61thinkpad-debian-5.0-lenny-wireless-configuration-725212/ reports that the firmware-iwlwifi driver is what you need. The Ubuntu kernel includes the correct support; what you are missing is the correct firmware. Wire up and install firmware-iwlwifi or put it on removal media from another system and install it that way.
