Thread: no wifi after new install xubuntu 11.10 and upgrade to 12.04

-

i have installed xubuntu on oldish laptop fresh install of 11.10 (12.04 wouldn't install because of kernel pae conflict) , upgrading 12.04.

wifi not working. (and wasn't' smart enough check whether working after 11.10 had wired ethernet connection running.)

oddly, pulling down networking icon (the up/down arrows) shows enable wireless checked , enabled.
futher down see greyed out "wireless disabled"

firewall test shows "inactive".
looked other similar posts haven't found fix.

full ubuntu has worked seamlessly me guess have become lazy.

can advise?

pjstock
a quick thought.

assuming it's laptop:

may have wifi hardware switch. check see if have both fn key , wifi key on keyboard. wifi key located under 1 of f/number keys (should antenna giving off signals) @ top of keyboard. press fn key holding down , press f/wifi key, release both. wait few seconds , see if wifi comes on.

if works, bios's i've seen, have setting turn on wifi @ boot. may wish check , see if yours , if it's turned on.

also, might post system specs including type of wifi card using, should not work.

hope helps.
