I am still having an odd problem with my setup. When I start up my system (Athalon ii X4, 8GB, Ubuntu 12.04) it will always connect to my modem/router but sometimes it refuses to connect to the internet. I know that the net is working as my other computers will happily connect to the net using my wireless lan and what makes it even more wierd is that: a. If I boot my computer using PCLinuxOS it connects to the lan and works perfectly every time, b. My laptop ( i3 4GB ACER) runs on Ubuntu 12.04 and always connects without a problem.
My laptop and desktop have identical setups (barring the appropriate drivers for their devices). As my desktop will talk to the router I assume the problem must be in the way that they communicate but am having trouble finding the problem as it seems to fix itself randomly. The problem did not exist with earlier versions of Ubuntu.
