Do you think this is also related to connectivity or just the fact that i don't see the network indicator. With the other Ubuntu derivatives (13.10 and up) I see the network indicator and can choose my network but can't connect. I will go through everything you mentioned. Thank you once again for your help <div style="color: rgb(40, 40, 40);"> <hr tabindex="-1" style="display:inline-block; width:98%"> <div id="divRplyFwdMsg" dir="ltr">From: Israel <israeldahl@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, October 24, 2014 9:04 AM To: Marc Tremblay; lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Cc: Andre Rodovalho Subject: Re: WIFI connectivity issues with WPA2 enterprise and Lubuntu 13.10 and up <div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Marc, I just remembered >From this page <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes/Lubuntu">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes/Lubuntu</a> Network indicator on the panel may not start at login. You can start it manually by launching "nm-applet" in a terminal. Some others autostarted applications may also be affected (such as automatic updates). See <a class="interwiki" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308348" title="Bug">1308348</a> for the details and the ETA for the fix. To turn on nm-applet in autostart, follow <a class="http" href="http://www.webupd8.org/2014/04/fix-lubuntu-1404-network-manager.html"> these instructions</a> It may need two reboots to fully work. But, you are saying you can try installing ANY derivative of Ubuntu 14.04 and have this issue? I have also tried, and installed Xubuntu and Ubuntu 14.04 also and have only had this issue in Lubuntu. It is always a good idea to read the release notes, for issues like this one. Also, it is a good idea to make sure you have the full image, by checking the md5sum. I usually install zsync. That way if my md5sum is off I can just zsync the file and it will fix it, without having to re-download everything.

In general at our school board the older laptops and netbooks we are converting are Toshiba Tecra A9, A10 and A11's. The Netbooks are NB 200's, 250's and 350's. We also have Dell laptops and HP laptops in smaller numbers. In every case, If I install any derivative of ubuntu based on 12.04 LTS I am able to see my school boards network and then put in the WPA2 enterprise configuration with user credentials and I get a connection right away. If I install any derivative of ubuntu that is newer than 12.04 I can sometimes see our network but when I try connecting, it just loops and continues to ask for the username and password for the network. Yesterday I installed Lubuntu 12.04 on a Toshiba Tecra A9. After the installation I see the little WIFI icon in the lower left hand corner and i am able to connect to the network. I then installed Lubuntu 14.4 and then did not see the WIFI icon at the lower right hand side. I am honestly no expert at this but it does not seem to be a hardware issue since the same problem occurs no matter what machine we are using. Would it still be helpful to send you the network controller info? <div style="color:rgb(40,40,40)"> <hr tabindex="-1" style="display:inline-block; width:98%"> <div id="divRplyFwdMsg" dir="ltr">From: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:lubuntu-users-bounces@lists.ubuntu.com"> lubuntu-users-bounces@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:lubuntu-users-bounces@lists.ubuntu.com"> <lubuntu-users-bounces@lists.ubuntu.com></a> on behalf of Israel <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:israeldahl@gmail.com"> <israeldahl@gmail.com></a> Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2014 10:14 PM To: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com"> lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Subject: Re: WIFI connectivity issues with WPA2 enterprise and Lubuntu 13.10 and up <div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Marc, I agree with Andre that we need to know more about the hardware.
