Ubuntu - Rosewill RNX-G300EX Found, Not usable
Hey Ya'll, not a complete newb to linux, but having issues getting my new system's wireless working; any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ubuntu 8.10 32bit on Intel D945GCLF2 (ATOM 330)
Installed: ST9160411AS, 2GB Ram, RNX-G300EX.
Card was present during install of Ubuntu.
Card is found by Ubuntu. Ubuntu is not allowing me to use the card; not showing up in the "Network Connections" application under "Wireless" tab.
The current configs:

I know there are at least 5 unsecured wireless networks within range; my laptop can see them all, and the 2DB external antenna on the Rosewill should be able to pickup at least 1 (its less than 10 feet away and in LOS).
Suggestions for how to get this card to list the wireless networks in the area as it should? |
