computer does not recognize wireless card WPC11 ver 4

abal0n · 06-12-2009, 04:12 PM

Hello,

I am running ubuntu 8.04. I have a linksys wireless card WPC11 ver4 which the computer does not recognize. There is nothing wrong with the card as it works with windows XP. Is there a solution?

thank you

Code:

lspci|grep Net
lsmod
ifconfig

I am just new on ubuntu, I had a similar problem and ubuntu was not recognising my wireless card. I connected directly (wired) to the internet and run updates. It was fix after that. hope this help

Strange; could you do

Code:

lspci

for me then?

abal0n · 06-13-2009, 01:06 PM

Tried running updates, no luck.

lspci gives this:

Is the wireless card plugged in and turned on? It isn't be shown up, you see.

Find the wireless kill switch, then give us the output of

Code:

dmesg|tail

abal0n · 06-13-2009, 01:30 PM

The wireless card turns on automatically when I put it into the slot.

here is what I get

You didn't say it was pcmcia. Fine;

Code:

Is it plugged in?

abal0n · 06-13-2009, 01:42 PM

it wasn't before. With it plugged in I get this

Was it plugged in when you did any of the other stuff? Like lspci? It seems to suggest an entry may be in there.
