I am running Ubuntu 9.8.0, and it won't let me connect to the Internet using my wifi card. Don't get me wrong... Ubuntu knows it is there (it says that there is a wifi card), it just will not connect, no that is wrong, it does connect (or at least it says it is connected) but when I try to do anything in the browser; like type in "google.com" it says "failed to load server proxy"
This is really annoying, I can't even download the deb. packages.
I have a Rosewill USB wireless LAN adapter.
this single problem is the only reason I haven't formated my Windows drive. Please help me fix this, or tell me what adapter I need to get in order to have Internet on Ubuntu.
In the event of your Wifi card being unsupported you can use Ndiswrapper Here is the Official Ubuntu Ndiswrapper Documentation
