I have installed Lubuntu 11.10 on a machine with an "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG" as Network controller.

How can I make the internet wireless connection work?

Below there's the output of rfkill list all and dmesg | grep ipw

federico@federico:~$ rfkill list all

    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN

    Hard blocked: no

Please edit your question to add the result of theses two terminal commands: rfkill list all and dmesg | grep ipw. The pipe symbol | is on the right side of my US keyboard on the same key with \. – chili555 Jan 14 at 19:05
I posted the output. Btw I updated to Precise Pangolin 12.04 and now it all works fine. – fpiro07 Jan 15 at 13:52
Then you're all set. Have fun! – chili555 Jan 15 at 15:45
