I installed XUBUNTU 8.04 into my compaq evo n600c then instaled the wifi drivers.

I followed the steps :
1. Build up the drivers from the source code
make

2. Install the driver to the kernel
make install
reboot

I got this far but I am confused by the following steps:
3. bring up wlan if nic is not brought up by GUI, such as NetworkManager
ifconfig wlan0 up

Note: use ifconfig to check whether wlan0 is brought up and use iwconfig to check your wlan interface name,
since it may change wlan0 to wlan1,etc.

My computer doesn't display my network connection ssid as with other ssid's.

Thanks

Why don't you use newer version of Xubuntu?

I tried all the newer ones but this version installed without any hiccups. I'll try again.

Thanks

Great News....I corrected the problem. It was a loose antenna wire problem. IF you have a Compaq Evo N600c then use Xubuntu 8.04 for the initial install then upgrade. The wifi works great and I love the OS.

Thanks
