Marc Tommasi, as per http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/latitude-e4200 an update is available for your BIOS (A24). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and just provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: needs-next-test ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete ** Tags added: needs-wifi-debug ** Summary changed: - [8086:4232] Wireless not connecting in 12.04 Intel Wifi Link 5100 + 8086:4232 [Latitude E4200] WiFi N not connecting in 12.04 Intel Wifi Link 5100 ** Summary changed: - 8086:4232 [Latitude E4200] WiFi N not connecting in 12.04 Intel Wifi Link 5100 + 8086:4232 [Dell Latitude E4200] WiFi N not connecting in 12.04 Intel Wifi Link 5100 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991713 Title: 8086:4232 [Dell Latitude E4200] WiFi N not connecting in 12.04 Intel Wifi Link 5100 Status in The Linux Kernel: In Progress Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Wireless not connecting.
