Since getting a Linksys E900 router Ubuntu 12.04 will not connect, same laptop (dual boot) Windows 7 does connect, same laptop, different house Ubuntu does connect. first router Linksys E900 firmware 10.0.03, second router Linksys E1500 firmware 10.0.0. Wireless card is a Broadcom and driver is installed. I'm thinking there is something in the firmware upgrade that needs to be addressed in the network manager's software. Both router's security is WPA2 Personal. Please help.
