Hi David,<br>
<br>
Type lspci | less and see if the network card shows up on the list.
Look for a term like "Network Controller" or similar.<br>

<div>Hi David.<br>
</div>
If you don't have much personal data, or if you can do a
backup I would simply use a new version of Xubuntu and
reinstall everything formatting the HD.<br>
<br>
</div>
I know that it's quite drastic, but probably quicker than
trying to fix things!<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was updating my Xubuntu this morning when it
announced that it had failed to download and stopped.
Since then I haven't been able to reconnect to WiFi. It
continually tries then asks for the password for the
wifi, repeated ad nauseum.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now I have two identical laptops, so, knowing the
other has a perfect, identical, wifi board, I swapped
the HDDs over, only to discover:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>a) The other machine with the Xubuntu SSD
transplanted now can't connect to WiFi, although it
could when it was running Win XP</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>and</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>b) the computer that couldn't connect under Xubuntu,
happily connects when running Win XP!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So the problem *has* to lie in the Xubuntu system.
This is my "Notebook" and I will need it running next
Monday and Tuesday, as I'm on a course then.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here's the system details:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The machine is a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 (yes I
know it's virtually scrap - that's why I can use it as
my Workbook, it's not even worth stealing!)</div>
<div>It has been upgraded to a Pentium 4 and has 1 GB
memory and an 80 GB SSD.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The WiFi Board is an Intel 2200 one.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The system is running Xubuntu 12.04 (personal taste).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm still a fairly new newbie and would appreciate
fullest explanations of how to sort this out (please
talk down to me!!!) and how to generate any further
information the list might need to help me.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am wondering if the drivers have been corrupted and
if so, how to remove and re-install them. The system
runs fine on a wired connection.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in anticipation,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
