[ubuntu-za] Network connection issues - Wifi

[Frans de waal]

For starters plug in the dongle then look at dmesg for any error messages
concerning the WiFi dongle... Then also have a look at the output of the
lsusb command if you do not under stand the output of the commands paste it
here and we'll try to help further. Also try looking at the firmware
packages in synaptic for a solution.
