Public bug reported:
I am using Xubuntu. Changing my network-settings for my wireless network
card didn't work properly. I tried to change the setting by Applications
-> System -> Network , where I then selected wireless connenction and
properties. I filled in the correct settings, WEP etc. but still the
networkconnection didn't get a connection with the router. The router
could see it but called the connection inactive, and the IP was static
0.0.0.0 When I finally was very sure that the problem was not my new
router I decided to look for the problem in Xubuntu. The thing that
solved the problem was renaming /etc/network/interfaces to
/etc/network/interfaces.bak and then deleting /etc/network/interfaces.
After this Applications -> System -> Network , then all the settings
were gone. Filling the right setting made the network connection
function.
The interfaces file that didn't work was: (substituted password and ssid
with Xs)
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
iface ath0 inet dhcp
# wireless-* options are implemented by the wireless-tools package
wireless-mode managed
wireless-essid XXXXXXX
wireless-key1 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
address 192.168.1.65
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.254
wireless-key XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
iface eth0 inet dhcp
The interface file that after that I deleted the above one did work was:
iface ath0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid XXXXXX
wireless-key XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
auto ath0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
I have got it working now, though I don't know wether this second interfaces
file contains all the proper lines...
Anyhow,
Somehow the network admin didn't work properly.
Thx for looking into this.
