I imagine if I was wired, it would automagically work (that’s been my experience in the past.) Ubuntu doesn’t come default with an easy GUI way to connect to a wireless access point. I had to go command line in order to get online. So I had to dig out of my memory (and do some online looking) about iwconfig.
