Wireless not working in Ubuntu 9.04 on Laptop

[eeddwwaarrdd]

Hey guys, my problem i am facing is i am not able to browse on mozilla wirelessly, ubuntu AUTOMATICALLY detected the DRIVER and also ESTABLISHED CONNECTION, but when i attempted to browse the web, pages would not load.

i can confirm that my wireless connection is working properly. i also tried downloading ndiswrapper and installing a new driver (blacklisting the old one) but still was not able to connect. (Local Area Network Connection works properly, ethernet auto establishes connection).

Wireless Setup - Start Here

Have you tried editing /etc/networking/nm-system-settings.conf?
edit that to say
managed=true instead of false.

here is an overview of how i set my wireless up:
1. sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common
2. sudo ndiswrapper -i driver.inf
3. lspci -nn (note down the device id)
4. sudo ndiswrapper -a ####:#### driver
5. sudo ndiswrapper -m
6. sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf (change managed to true)
7. sudo depmod -a
8. sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
9. sudo ifup wlan0

Installing and loading NDISwrapper, without knowing anything about the wireless card and the native Linux drivers for it, is a sure way to really screw things up! I highly recommend you NOT do this, until you are sure that there is no Linux driver for it.
