[clue-tech] Ubuntu wireless problem

[Brian Gibson]

Updating to 8.10 did something wonky with my internet hardware as well.  To fix it on my Xubuntu machine, I commented any manually configured device from /etc/network/interfaces and then let Network Manager handle it.  Make sure nw-applet is running on startup as there seems to be no other way to access nw-config from the Main Menu or Settings other than the command line.

Subject: [clue-tech] Ubuntu wireless problem

My wireless connection on my Ubuntu laptop doesn't work anymore.  When I
run ifconfig, I see wlan, but it doesn't have an IP address.
NetworkManager doesn't see even see the wireless.

At this point, I don't know what is causing the problem.  Any ideas?
