Suspiciously after I installed a Nvidia Gforce 5200 graphics card I was not able to connect to the internet. To start my internet connection I use a shell script that configures my wireless PCI adapter card. The script looks like this:
iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
dhcpd
dhcpd wlan0
Usually after I execute that it spits out something about wlan0, but now it says nothing. I tried configuring without the script but it does not seem to respond. The essid wont change. Is the graphics card a problem, should I use ndiswrapper again?
