Asked by Ramon

I am very new to linux.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 but can seem to get my wireless internet up and running.
I got the following details:

ramon@ramon-home:~$ sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; sudo lshw -short; uname -a; dmesg | grep ound; dmesg | grep irmware ; dmesg | grep ipw; dmesg | grep eth; dmesg | grep ath; dmesg | grep b43; dmesg | grep wl; dmesg | grep witch; iwconfig; grep b43 /etc/modprobe.d/*; grep wl /etc/modprobe.d/*; sudo hwinfo --netcard ; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

what exactly is the problem you're having?
1) your wireless internet isn't working? or
2) your wireless HP printer isn't working?

OMG! I feel so stupid, problem was solved by turning the wifi on with the key on the laptop.
I must have pressed it accidentally or something.
Sorry for the trouble guys!
