I've recently moved my machine to a different room where there is no hard wire so have to use wireless. I am using the Linksys WUSB600N USB adapter and I have downloaded and built the Ralink driver necessary to work with this adapter. I then followed the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 to get the network config and wpa-suplicant set up. Everything looks good but I still have no internet access and it's driving me batty!
On restarting the network I see the following:
iwconfig:
/etc/network/interfaces:
When I do a network stop/start all looks good.
ifconfig -a:
So looks like I got an IP from DHCP = good.
However I cannot access the network at all both in or out. Did I miss something?
Cheers!
