After upgrade to 12.04 network says "the system network services are not compatible with this version"

Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; sudo rfkill list

Thanks

Hi Andrew, output is:

family@family-laptop:~$ sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; sudo rfkill list

Thanks for helping out

It was recommended to me to enter in terminal gsku gedit /etc/network/interfaces
which gave the folling information in that file:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface ppp0 inet ppp
provider ppp0

auto ppp0

I was then told to delete all except the first 2 lines, save and reboot, which I did. This moved things forward a bit in that the network button appeared in the menu bar and wired became a network option. With that option I can connect my smartphone and connect to the internet. Now I need to find out how to get it to enable or recognize my USB wireless adapter instead.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi Andrew,
I redid the output as you had asked for since I now have the wired networking working. The result is as follows:

I got a tip on the Ubuntu Forum, someone with the same adapter had entered in this code:

sudo modprobe ath9k_htc

And magically everything worked immediately.

Thanks for the help,

Mark

If you run:

echo "ath9k_htc" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules > /dev/null

it will load at boot each time
