Jupiter is a tool to control power managemnet, I believe

Shravan,

Can you confirm that this is what caused your problems or if not provide a link to where you got Jupiter if it not in the software centre.

If you run:

sudo iwlist scan

Do you see networks?

If so you can install wicd and tell it to use eth1 as wifi, network manager seems to like wlan0. Wicd is a bit more flexible and should help

About Jupiter etc to see how it can be undone

Can you help with this problem?
