No wireless connection on my laptop in Lucid

Asked by pinfanti

Just loaded Lucid Lynx on my toshiba satellite A15-157 laptop. Everything works great except the wireless. I am seeing the SSID from my router, but cannot connect. Everything says that networking is enabled and wireless is enabled, but no luck connecting. I looked at the help files and forums and did a scan via the terminal and this is the readout:

What's the output of dmesg | grep eth? Does it by chance include "eth2: Lucent/Agere firmware doesn't support manual roaming"? If so, then this bug may be https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/498336.

I have the same on my laptop after upgrading to 10.04 Lucid...
I'm having to use my desktop with 9.10 to get on line... so I'm not able to sent report from Laptop..
Hope some one can sort this one out soon please...
I've also found that Lucid is so much SLOWER, why is this..? Hope it's not going the same route that windows did...

Dave, thanks for the comment. This is my first install of ubuntu so I am
not familiar with the OS and its associated issues. I am not sure why an
upgrade to the system such as 9.10 to 10.04 would cause a problem like
this. I was hoping I was missing something in the setup rather than
uncovering a bug.

Dave, could you show me the output of the same command,
    sudo dmesg | grep eth

Both of you, could you show me the output of
    sudo ifconfig

and
    sudo dhclient eth1
