Re: [orca-list] Accessible Installation, not Ubuntu

Hi Darragh,
I'm using a D-link DWA-110. It is connected   to my PC via a USB 
adapter. The card is recognized, the network  is shown by 
network-manager but I can not connect to the internet. I suspect that 
the problem is related to authentication. If I reboot my PC using 
windows  I had no problems.
Thanks.
