  "textContent": "Last weekend I finally got my laptop to talk to my wireless network in Ubuntu, I'd tried following some instructions before when I had Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy) on the laptop, but never got anywhere with it. I know I could have changed my network to use WEP instead, but I didn't want to have to change too much just to get my laptop to work occasionaly when I booted into Linux.\n\nWith Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) it wasn't as straight forward as I'd have liked, but it was much simpler than the method I'd attempted initially. I found the instructions at fredericiana.\nIt was simply a case of doing an \n    \n    sudo apt-get update\n\nto update the package library, followed by \n    \n    sudo apt-get install gnome-network-manager\n\nand finally commenting out the all but lo from /etc/network/interfaces and rebooting.\n\nWhen the laptop rebooted I was supposed to be able to go to the new icon in the tray and select the wireless network, however as it was a little more complicated as we hide the SSID on our network and it seems that the SSID was treated as case-sensitive, which I don't think was the case on windows.",
