I'm having little problems with wireless connection on my Ubuntu 12.04. It works, but when booting on Windows 7, then turning the wireless off(FN
+ F5
, in my case) then rebooting to Ubuntu, it just doesn't work, also when opening the network drop-down list, I can't check the "Enable wireless" option.
I also tried using ifconfig
by issuing ifconfig lo up
but still doesn't work, even though I'm sure that I only have eth0
and lo
. And I tried both of them with
ifconfig
non of them works(as far as I know, eth0
is for wired connections, anyway).
