Ubuntu Wireless failure on DELL Latitude D420

November 21st, 2008

if you can’t open wireless connection of Internet, you should try this again.

Mannul Network Configuration –> Unlock –> wireless configuration –> re-fill SSID with correct WPA2 key –> OK

Notes: You should have your wireless device recognized before doing this.

Three posts of today were written under Ubuntu 8.04 using wireles connection.

Ubuntu Wireless SSID configuration problem on DELL Latitude D420

November 21st, 2008

I have tested a lot of times for Ubuntu wireless configuration on DELL Latitude D420.

It’s very strange that Ubuntu cann’t recognize hidden broadcast SSID althought I had input correct SSID and WPA2 key.

I didn’t think this would be a problem, even tried NDIS(deleted later), but after I changed my SSID configuration two days late, the error was gone, I could visit Internet after DHCP.

Hidden SSID problem wasted my two nights to solve and verify.

Maybe Ubuntu next version(V8.10) doesn’t have this problem, but I have no schedule to upgrade, V8.04 is good enough for me.

Stable is the first thing.
