I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my Acer Aspire One Netbook and everything works excellent except for the WiFi.

When I click on a network I get connected but only for about one minute and then it says "Disconnected - You are offline".

It tries to reconnect and after a while it says "Connection Established".

It's a school network which uses no authentication but a proxy (172.16.4.1:8080).

Can anyone help me? I'm new to Ubuntu and don't know a thing.

    Driver issue probably?

  • I have exact same problem on my computer, my network even just "times out". Have you checked if you have the latest drivers for your network-card? And yeah, on my computer, it only disconnects on the proxy-authenticated network, not on any other network. Is the same happening to you?

  • thing could be driver yeah, but most likely the network uses a lot of routers, right? (placed around on the school) And after what i experienced, ubuntu aren't handling multiple routers pretty well. The network incompatible with ubuntu in some way.

  • Could you please tell us which model is your wifi card? You can use the lspci command to get such information.

It could be a problem with your proxy server , please check your account with some other OS'. (Like a windows os or something like that)

  • Wouldn't it make more sense to start by examining the proxy configuration? Jan 16, 2013 at 14:35
