Ubuntu 12.10 WiFi Problems
- by Sean Webber
I have a 32 bit machine running Ubuntu 12.10 with WiFi on it.
I have a WPA2 network at home, but if I leave the USB Adapter plugged in while it boots, it infinitely keeps asking for the network password but never connects.
If I plug it in after boot, it will connect but then I can't access ANYTHING on the LAN or Internet because "the DNS servers are unreachable". Now, if I leave the computer on a while, I get lucky sometimes and it MAGICALLY decides to connect for a little bit, lock the machine though and the Internet's gone again.
The weirdest thing, is when I am connected but can't get to the internet, I do a netstat or ifconfig wlan0, I do have an IP address and everything.
It says I'm connected but its not.
I have a Realtek RTL8188CU USB adapter.
