Just installed. Cannot connect to Internet

Hey all,

I just installed Zorin 8, I was on Ubuntu 14.04. When I was in installation, I could not connect to wifi and when everything was installed I still cannot. I have read a bunch of other threads and can't seem to get anywhere. I have copy and pasted the four commands that most people ask for at first. Already tried rebooting and normal troubleshooting things. Thanks for all help, it is greatly appreciated.

Hi, is it possible at all to make a wired connection while you install? Zorin 8 is very close to end of life - I would try Zorin 9 but with a wired connection to ensure all packages get downloaded.

Your card is:

Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2200 [8086:0891] (rev c4)

And it seems that also the correct driver (iwlwifi) is loaded:

configuration: broadcast=yes driver=iwlwifi driverversion=3.11.0-17-generic firmware=18.168.6.1 latency=0 link=no multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bgn

Are you sure you cannot connect to the internet? Have you clicked on the network manager to verify that the "enable wireless network" is checked?

Also what happens if you run in terminal:

Code:

sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi
sudo modprove iwlwifi

After running the 2nd command wait 5-6 seconds and check if your laptop can pick up wireless networks.

From your output everything looks fine.

Does your computer see the other wireless networks at all?
Do you get an error message, pop up, anything?
What exactly are you doing when you attempt to connect?
