Ubuntu

Doesn't detect a wireless connection

Asked by Gamer71320

I recently got my computer (finally) upgraded to 8.04. I dual boot Ubuntu and Vista. On Ubuntu, my computer doesn't even detect a wireless network. Under the Network Settings in the Connections there is no option for wireless. Before I upgraded it, I used 7.10 (not to an extreme extent, just when I got frustruated with
Vista) and it always connected me to the internet. What should I do?

I had a similar problem a few days ago. I had to reinstall 7.10 and upgrade back to 8.04 to get it working again.

How would I go about doing that?

I just did a clean install of 7.10 and updated its a little wasteful and takes a while but it works now.
Now im upgrading to 8.10.

Can you help with this problem?
