It made the gnome-network manager to recognise the wifi as 'not managed'. And i couldn't make it to work whatsoever i tried. Finally, as a last resort i tried changing my Network-manager from default gnome-network manager, to 'wicd'. Now it works fine... please try this network manager, maybe it'll help you. It seems that this manager uses a different configuration file than default network-manager. 'wicd' when installed, will remove your default network-manager, as both can't work at same time. But now 'wicd' works fine for me. It can be installed via 'synaptic', else run the fllowing in terminal- sudo apt-get install wicd mumble on "Ubuntu Network Help needed" http://forum.ubuntu-in.info/topic/ubuntu-network-help-needed#post-90 Wed, 13 May 2009 07:58:17 +0000 mumble 90@http://forum.ubuntu-in.info/ the problem is tht Ubuntu used to connect to the internet till a couple of days ago and now it doesnt...been googling but still stuck....Appreciate help root@ubuntu:/home/xx# /etc/init.d/networking restart * Reconfiguring network interfaces...
