Your question #78701 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78701

    Status: Open => Needs information

Mark Rijckenberg requested for more information:
Hi,


Please first connect your network card to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).


In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure:


Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->Terminal"


Step 2: Run the following command. The command STARTS with the word sudo and ENDS with the word restart. So please copy-paste the ENTIRE command below into a Terminal, press enter, then enter password when sudo asks for password, then press enter again.

sudo lshw -C network; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces;
cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; uname -a; dmesg | grep ound;
dmesg | grep b43; iwconfig; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart


Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output) on this thread


Regards,


Mark
