[SOLVED] Wireless Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 1650

Hi

I have the following problem:
the first problem was I couldn't get my wireless on (it's with a button). This problem I have solved with enabling the wireless in the BIOS. A bit of a radical solution, but my wireless is on... (if someone has a better solution, plz tell me

)

the second problem is the following: my wireless scans the networks in the neighborhood, so it finds mine. But when i want to connect my AP it doesn't work...
Does anyone know any solution, it isn't my router, because he works with other wireless device, like another laptop and my phone...
the is also no encryption for the moment, just a mac-filter who denies everybody except those who are in my list.

I've searched a bit on the internet, but couldn't find any solution

Big thx

Karel

How is the wireless device listed in your lspci?

I found a solution:
I did following steps (found it on ubuntu forums)

Quote:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
sudo apt-get install subversion
sudo -i
sudo svn checkout http://svn.madwifi-project.org/madwifi/trunk/ madwifi-ng
cd madwifi-ng
echo "" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
echo "#Remove To Install MadWIFI Drivers" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
echo "blacklist ath9k" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
echo "blacklist ath5k" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
make && make install
echo ath_pci >> /etc/modules
