On my Gnome Ubuntu 14.04, there is a "Wi-Fi Settings" thing, next to the networks I have connected to is a little arrow. If I follow the arrow I find a page with a "Forget" button.

After a while it times out. If you fail to get a DHCP address (when it is expecting one, as it usually is) you will get similar behavior. While it is spinning, try running iwconfig from a shell. It should tell you whether you are associated. If you are, and it's still spinning, then you don't have a DHCP lease for some reason.

Or maybe you don't, but you asked, so there it is. ;-) -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
