→Using the Ubuntu Linux Network Settings Dialog
If the ''Enable roaming mode'' toggle is set, uncheck it to gain access to the configuration fields below.
Select the appropriate Network name (ESSID) from the drop down list. If no networks are listed it may be that you are not in range of a wireless network. After choosing a wireless network, select the passowrd password type and enter the authentication key required for access to the chosen wireless network.
If your wireless base station is configured to provide IP addresses using DHCP (the most common configuration) then leave this setting unchanged. In the unlikely event that you are required to manually enter network configuration information change this setting to ''Static IP address'' and enter your IP address, subnet mask and gateway address. if you are unsure as to what these values are check with your network administrator.
All being well your Ubuntu Linux system should now be connected to your wireless network
