Recently just switched over to Xubuntu 14.04.1 and installed perfectly. However it says that I am connected to the Wireless network, but is not allowing me to connect to the internet (Or timing out). Is there any way to fix this using a flash drive to install the missing drivers (if there is any)? I do not have an Ethernet cord so connecting to the internet seems fairly impossible at the moment.

Also since I am fairly new at this, how do I go about seeing if I missing a drivers?

  • Can you identify the wireless card?

  • If you cannot identify the WiFi card, please provide: Brand and model of your PC/Laptop. Then go to a terminal [Ctrl][Alt][T] and then type lspci and lsusb copy-paste the output in your question. Press edit to modify your question.

Try this from terminal to identify what you need:

lspci -nn | grep 0280

Then find your driver from other pc (google for linux driver of your device) and move it to laptop with flash-drive. Finaly from settings go to additional drivers and activate it.

You may want to search more info if you don't get it working. http://docs.xubuntu.org/1304/internet-networks.html
