Following my question from yesterday where I couldn't find one particular wifi, this wifi does now appear correctly. But I can't connect to it. I have the right password (it is in my phone, and I use it), but when I click on the network and enter the password, it tries for a moment and then prompts me the password window again, without connecting.

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 with a HP Mini 5103, with Intel.

Thanks !

Have you tried reinstalling the driver?

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo modprobe wl

I managed to get it wired via ethernet finally.

Then I simply upgraded to 12.10.

I got connected to the wifi but internet didn't work. I just couldn't connect to any webpage.

But, miracle:

sudo dhclient wlan0

And IT ALL WORKED. Cheers
