Ubuntu 10.04 Beta wireless

raeherm · 04-27-2010, 04:38 PM

I just dual booted my pc with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 Beta. I'm having issues with connecting it to the wireless network. I just upgraded my netbook the other day and was having similiar issues, which someone else resolved. I share my network with a few other people, so i would really prefer not unplugging the wireless router unless completely necessary. Thanks for your help!

You need to be *slightly* more specific.

What is the output of:

Code:

lspci

Code:

ifconfig

and

Code:

iwconfig

Can you post those outputs in [CODE] tags?

You could also install wicd, which is an easy to use GUI tool to manage connecting to wired and wireless networks. You will obviously need to use a wired connection for this until you get online with the wireless.
Note that installing wicd will remove network-manager because those two packages conflict. This is not a problem though. If you ever wish to go back to network-manager, just install network-manager and network-manager-gnome. Personally, I think that wicd is better than Ubuntu's network-manager.

If you still have problems, then posting the output of the commands that Sycamorex listed will be a great help in helping to troubleshoot the problem.

Ok, I'll try the wicd. if not here is the info requested

ifconfig

Code:

Thanks again for all your help

downloaded wicd- no help

Might look at using ndiswrapper if all else fails.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...er/Ndiswrapper

Not sure how current this is.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...eisty_No-Fluff

Otherwise you may be able to user other distro's drivers maybe for linux solution.

I solved my connection-problems by adding the necessary module to the kernel by »modprobe -a 'MODULE'« and »modprobe -a 'MODULE-B«

Code:

sudo modprobe -a usbserial
sudo modprobe -a option

Code:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo lsmod | grep usbserial
usbserial              33019  4 option
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ 
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo lsmod | grep option
option                 15654  1 
usbserial              33019  4 option
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$

Tis is what «lshal» does show up:

Code:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_12d1_1001_noserial_if2_serial_usb_0'
  info.capabilities = {'serial'} (string list)
