connecting to the internet using wireless dongle error

[flameboy5073]

Whenever I boot up this error message comes up and I can't connect to the internet.

Code: Select all

[ifup]: couldn't read the interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces failed

What can I do to fix this.

Is the file actually there? Try this to check:

Code: Select all

ls -la /etc/network/interfaces

Do you see something like this?

Code: Select all

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 313 Feb  8 21:47 /etc/network/interfaces

I get exactly that, except, obviously the date is different. Do you know what I should do?
