Wifi Help

Hello Everyone,

I have been browsing the inteet for quite some time and can't seem to resolve my wifi issue.

I recently installed Ubuntu onto an old 32 bit Dell Latitude D610.The problem is that I can't coect to the inteet over wifi. I can coect over Etheet though.

When I click on the wifi button at the top of the screen, I can see a greyed out list of networks in the area. And whenever I click on the System Settings button and then the Network button, I can see my network's name in the list. However, whenever I click on my network I get an error that says:

"Authentication required by Wi-Fi network
Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the Wi-Fi network 'my_network's name'. "

So I never get a chance to even type in my network's password. I just get this message.

Any help in resolving this would be awesome.

Thank you for taking time to read this,
James
