Intel centrino advanced-n 6230 "connects" but no internet
Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2012 8:58 am
Hello,
I am currently running Maya 64-bit Gnome edition with Cinnamon. My machine is a Sony Vaio notebook, equipped with an intel centrino advanced-n 6230 wireless network card. When I use the icon in the task bar, it finds my wireless network and then queries me for the WPA-password. I enter the password, and "Successfully connected" or something will appear. However, I cannot browse to any website. When I try to ping, I cannot even ping my own router, let alone an outside website.
This strange issue also occurred on Ubuntu and Sabayon Linux and I have been unable to find a solution. However, strangely enough, the most recent Fedora (17) works fine. But then again, it must be about the only thing in Fedora to work fine . Any ideas as to where to look for a solution?
Thank you!
