Updated to 14.04, can't connect to the wireless network
Your iwconfig
output doesn't say anything about power management. Try following:
- Launch terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and write:
sudo touch /etc/pm/power.d/wireless
sudo chmod 755 /etc/pm/power.d/wireless
sudo gedit /etc/pm/power.d/wireless
copy paste following into the opened file:
!/bin/sh /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 power on
Save the file and close gedit.
sudo reboot

So I dug out my 5+ year old netbook, and updated the Ubuntu to release 14.04 (from 10.04) and now it can see the wireless connection and it says it connects to it, but it does not load any pages in the browser, nor does it load the router's site either. I can connect via ethernet.
Please note that I'm a linux newb, I only know to post these commands from googling this problem and seeing that other people posted them - please let me know if there's anything else I should post as well, and if you could explain solutions like I'm a 5-year-old, it'd probably help out a lot!
Solutions I've already tried:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
