since i am a new to ubuntu, i didn't know how to manually connect to a wireless router. tried a couple of things, but failed. finally, i found a solution on ubuntu forums. wicd, was the solution! if you can't download from there check this link out: wicd.
first uninstall the existing "network manager" by opening up the "synaptics package manager." make sure to remove all the packages that are associated with network manager—there should be about four.
your /etc/network/interfaces file should contain only the following code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
you can edit this by typing the following command at the terminal window:
sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
once done, right click on the downloaded file and install it.
type wicd-client on a terminal screen, and the wicd should load up. you should see an icon on the task bar. click on it and everything else should be understood.
