I am trying to setup kvm on my laptop. These are the steps I have done so far.

  1. Uninstalled existing windows7 and installed Ubuntu 14.04 on the laptop.
  2. I have a network which provides me wireless connections. Now, I am able to connect to the network using the wifi conncection.

  3. I am trying to add the wireless information into my /etc/network/interfaces file as below. 

    auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

    (In this step, I even tried specifying WPA SSID and WPA Key in the configuration file. But I couldn't connect to the network).

  4. However, I am not able to connect to the network if I edit the /etc/network/interfaces file. If I run iwconfig wlan0 is the wireless interface name I get which is why I am adding wlan0 in my /etc/network/interfaces file.

What am I doing wrong? My end goal is to setup a kvm bridge so that I could install another OS on the bare metal.

From here, I was able to figure out that the name server was not set properly in my configuration file and after setting it, I could make it run. 

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.9
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
wpa-ssid my_ssid
wpa-psk my_ssid_password

dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8
dns-search lan
dns-domain lan
