It is usually rather simple:
- remove the network cable
- choose the wifi network of your choice from the network manager icon's menu
- enter the password
If that does not work, there might be a problem with the wifi. We need some diagnosis information to assist you.
Please open the Terminal application, paste the full text below into it, press Enter, enter your password and copy the full (long) output for us! Thanks!

Oh, I forgot the actual command to run:
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep rfkill; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scan | egrep -i 'chan|ssid'; cat /etc/network/

I am unable to enter anything onthe terminal. I get (sudo) password for James: and a flashing cursor, when I put in my login password it says sorry try again. I do not know any other password. During installation I was never able to recover the password for encrption. This message comes after I try to paste the command you sent.

Please read this:
https:/
Usage
When using sudo, your password is stored by default for 15 minutes. After that time, you will need to enter your password again.
Your password will not be shown on the screen as you type it, not even as a row of stars (******). It is being entered with each keystroke!
The sudo password is the same password you use to log into Ubuntu.....

I still cannot enter a command. Still comes back with not correct password for james. I am new to ubuntu and I am sure that is part of the problem too. I want to know if the right drivers are installed for my very old wirless adapter from Link Sys and am getting nowhere with answers received possibly because other apps are missing. What is udo? It is part of first solution and is not on my system according to the terminal.

james@james-
The program 'udo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install udo
[sudo] password for james:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for james:
This is what hapens when I paste the command Thomas Kreuger sent to me. I am typing [sudo]mypassword enter

The command was not correctly copy-pasted into the Terminal....
Please visit the following URL using a webbrowser:
https:/
Do NOT use the Email client to answer, because the Email client chops up the command into invalid pieces.
Compare the command in post #2 which is
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep rfkill; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scan | egrep -i 'chan|ssid'; cat /etc/network/
with your command in post #6 which is
udo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep rfkill; sudo lshw
First of all, you only copied a small part of the command.
Furthermore, the correct command does not start with udo but sudo... Don't forget the s in front of udo.
s+udo = sudo
The right command ends with lsmod not with lshw
All of this is explained in detail here:

The following Terminal output shows that your wireless adapter does not want to use the wl wireless driver:
You should use the b43 driver instead of the wl driver....
[ 48.021539] wl driver 6.20.155.1 (r326264) failed with code 21
[ 48.021631] kernel BUG at include/
The following Terminal output shows that you are trying to use the wrong driver (wl driver), which is BLACKLISTING (disabling) the correct driver (b43 driver).
# Warning: This file is autogenerated by bcmwl. All changes to this file will be lost.

Please try the b43 driver instead of the wl driver. To do this, you need to UNINSTALL the wl driver by uninstalling the package bcmwl-kernel-source
Please copy-paste the following commands into the Terminal (using a working, WIRED Internet connection):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-
Then please run the following command:
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.
Using the gedit editor, please REMOVE the following configuration lines in
the /etc/modprobe.
blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
SAVE the change to the /etc/modprobe.
removing the configuration lines.

I followed the above instructions. Blacklistb43 and blacklistb43legacy were not in the blacklist conf file. I rebooted and now am connecting with a wireless connection. Thank you so much for your help.
