Ubuntu Gutsy WiFi
August 23rd, 2007 Posted in Gutsy Gibbon, Ubuntu, WiFi
I decided to toss in the towel on Vista because it was giving me the shits. So I installed Gutsy Gibbon Tribe 4 on my laptop (Dell Latitude D620).
Installs fine. no issues discovered initially.
However, when trying to connect to my home wireless (802.11G WPA2 Personal with hidden SSID) I find that the built in wireless manager doesn’t work.
Turns out that this is a known issue. From previous experiences I know there are ways around this editing config files and getting the wireless card to connect on boot but I don’t want a static wifi link on the laptop.
Instead I just turned the hidden SSID off and it connected without issues.
