Question #77688 on firefox-3.0 in ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+question/77688
Jeruvy proposed the following answer: OPEN Wifi is just that, no passwords or authentication it just allows any connection that requests one. If this works then you know the System, the OS, the software all seems to be working and fine. CLOSED Wifi is one that enables authentication typically by one of these protocals: WEP, WPA, WPA2 there are others but you'll unlikely see them, if you do then please post the details. When connecting it will ask for a password. In many cases the password needs to be sent in a method that the wireless router/AP supports, in most cases a 'plaintext' password will work, in some cases you need to submit the password in HEXADECIMAL. Regardless of how you enter it, if you cannot login then it's a matter of entering the correct password in the correct fashion. You may want to contact your wireless product support folks if you need more information. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
