Hi, I just purchased an MSI GX-720 laptop. I'm trying to connect wirelessly but just can't seem to connect to the internet. I believe I have the same problem as the person who originally posted this error.
I've read a few articles on the ubuntuforums.org website, but I'm not sure what my starting point should be. Here's what I've picked up from what I've read in these forums : I opened up a terminal and typed in "sudo lshw -C network" and it generated the following response : *-network description: Ethernet interface product: RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. physical id: 0 bus info: p...@0000:04:00.0 logical name: eth0 version: 02 serial: 00:21:85:df:02:ec capacity: 1GB/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix vpd bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=r8169 driverversion=2.3LK-NAPI duplex=half latency=0 link=no module=r8169 multicast=yes port=twisted pair *-network UNCLAIMED description: Ethernet controller product: AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter vendor: Atheros Communications Inc. physical id: 0 bus info: p...@0000:05:00.0 version: 01 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix cap_list configuration: latency=0 *-network DISABLED description: Ethernet interface physical id: 2 logical name: pan0 serial: 52:4a:e7:6b:cd:c4 capabilities: ethernet physical configuration: broadcast=yes driver=bridge driverversion=2.3 firmware=N/A link=yes multicast=yes That's a direct copy & paste, so there won't be any typos. I then followed the steps from the same website (see thread : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1054629). If you'd like to track my original post on the forum (I'm user "YMS_1975") see thread : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1114729 -- AR242x Ath5k not working.
