[ubuntu-za] Network connection issues - Wifi

[Zabear]

Hi, on another computer with Ubuntu12.04 I easily connected with a new 
wifi dongle - it just worked out of the box, know not why or how, but it 
worked - as it should with Buntu.

NOW however I have to connect to another PC, also with Ubuntu 12.04 and 
I cannot get the Network connection to START SEARCHING WIFI. The 
wireless are stays a light grey
I have tried what I could
