Just simply right click on network icon on the taskbar, edit connections then wireless connection. Supply details like id of wifi access point passcode and you are up and running

I believe Ubuntu Server edition does not contains any WindowManager to configure WiFi. You should edit /etc/network/interfaces file with your WiFi network information something below :

auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.1.150 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 wpa-ssid <your_router> wpa-psk <your_wpa_key> dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 192.168.1.1

Dear Mayuresh,

Request you to search in Internet before posting here, for getting such simple solutions.

dear siji,

your suggested solution isn't working, nor are any of the suggestions "on" the internet.

i am now investigating wpa_suplicant related stuff, hope that works out.

Dear Mayuresh,

Then instead of writing two lines "How to Setting up Wifi in Ubuntu Server", explain your problem in detail. I believe that's the right way to communicate in public mail-lists.

dear siji,

i did explain my problem, very clearly.

about your lecturing me on the right way to communicate "on" public mailing lists, well, you are totally out of your depth here as i predate you on this list.

in closing, if you can't understand the problem posed, ask questions, else learn to shut up.

What is not working? Please elaborate.

Details about your WiFi card in your OP would have been helpful (lspci or lsusb).

If you have not already gone through the following then output from the following would be helpful.

lsmod dmesg (only relevant part to WiFi device) ifconfig -a iwconfig

Just curios, why WiFi on a server?

the card has been detected (wlan0), and is usable during the installation process, it's only after the install, i.e. on the first-boot that the system fails to connect, which i find to be quite strange.

i am using ubuntu server as the base for my squeak (www.squeak.org) operating environment project, reason being it's lightness (compared to ubuntu desktop).

i simply load up the squeak environment as the only application for x by including only "exec ./squeak" in the .xinitrc file.

btw, the wpa_supplicant method seems to be the right way forward. am still investigating the best way to make the system present various wifi access points as choices and then go ahead with the connection after providing the appropriate details.

thanks,
