Ubuntu – A Single wireless network is not showing up in Ubuntu that used too, and other devices have no issue finding or connecting to it

11.04networkingsamsungwireless

Up until about a week ago I could connect to my wireless, but now I suddenly can't. Every other wireless in the area show up in the network manager. My kindle can connect to it, my friend can connect to it (in windows) without having connected to it before. My other netbook (Samsung NC10) can connect to it, but my other Samsung N150 now cannot even see it.

  • I have tried deleting the old auto entry for it in the network manager
  • Tried disabling and enabling both the networking and the wireless through the network indicator.
  • Disabled the networking through the hardware shortkut key thing [fn] + [F9]
  • Attempting to connect to it as if it was a hidden network.

I'm at a loss, how would I go about debugging and unborking my computer?

I had a similar problems a few weeks ago in a friends house. The problem was that the router was using channel 13 and by default the drivers didn't allow this. I make him change the channel and it started working again. But i think there is a way to allow this channels in the driver.
