[LUAU] Ubuntu Networking

[R. Scott Belford]

There are 3 (among others) ways you can adjust your network settings.
You can manually edit your /etc/network/interfaces file, you can use
system/administration/network, or you can click the
network-manager-applet in the top right part of your screen.

It sounds like you have a Wired and a Wireless lan that you want to
bring up.  I would suggest using the system/administration/network
tool for this.

Wicd, as mentioned by Jason, will likely and eventually replace the
current tools.
