I have the same (or similar) problem with my Acer Aspire one D270-1895. The problem started shortly after upgrading to XUbuntu 13.04 (not the initial upgrade, but one or two updates after that) and has continued through all updates since. Since where I am now located I cannot conveniently report this bug from the LINUX on my system, I am doing so from the Windows partition so cannot see which version of the kernel, but it is the one included in the latest updates -- I think it is 3.9. I can connect to non-secure networks without problems, and I have successfully connected to WPA networks, but cannot do so if the connection is to networks using WEP. Since I use this computer while travelling and trying to connect at the homes of friends or relatives, I cannot change anything in the router.
I am hoping that this bug will be fixed soon so that I do not have to resort to booting in Windows in order to connect to the internet!!!! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173759 Title: Ubuntu 13.04 can detect wi-fi but can't connect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1173759/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
