    Yes i forgot actually. I am having the HP Pavilion DV6 the wireless card which is having the Intel Wireless G Card or N card that i am not sure about. Does it the problem of the Wireless card or the problem is in the BIOS itself. If it is BIOS then let me know what should i do to resolve this issue. A help may be appreciated.

    As per my knowledge it seems that there might be something wrong with the Wireless Card only that is why you are getting the no connectivity with the same. I will advise you to take a look on the /etc/init.d/wicd start and then try to fix the error with the same which might work with your issue. So take a look on the same.

    I think this is the issue with the BIOS of your system which is not working all fine and having some malfunction. In that case i will advise you to have the update of BIOS. If the issue is related to the BIOS which we are predicting then it will resolve with the update of the BIOS. So try the same and see whether the problem is still there or not.
