My wireless wont work
 

My wireless card "Icidu ni - 707508" wont work in Linux.
I am new to Linux what opportunities do I have? I allready tried to search for driver for the card, I dunno what else I can try.

Thanks in advance

can you post the output of

Indeed. and if it's a usb wireless adapter:

lsusb

This will show device related info for you card.

You might also looking into forcing windows drivers to work using a great little utility called ndiswrapper .. see google :)

the wireless card is to put into a cardbus

What command should I use for that?

This is interesting, it's showing up alright, but look at this bit: Can't say I've seen that before! The kernel module appears, at first glance, to be correct. I'm gonna do some quick searches, and I'll come back to you.

Ok, quick thing, I'm presuming looking at your profile that it is ubuntu you are working with? Try doing this:
and give your login password when it asks. Can you only post the relevant section, which relates to the Wireless card. Thanks.

I guess this must be it, since there aint any wireless in the actual laptop, so theonly wireless art isthe Icidu card I use in my cardbus.

and can you give me all the output of
Tell me, is it an Intel wireless card you are using? I mean, can you tell on the card what chipset it uses? It seems that the machine thinks it's an Intel chipset, but if thats incorrect, it probably won't work..

Ok, I just spotted that you have an Intel wireless card, a Realtek Network card and an Atheros Wireless network card in the lspci post from above. You sure your laptop doesn't have built in wireless?

It looks like you have two wireless controllers. What Ubuntu version are you using?

9.04

No I aint 100% I got it from a friend and he allways used cables. Also it is so used that the signs on the light (showing whats turned on) cant be readen, so I cant see it that way. Either does it have anything "wireless like",but it could be there somewhere.

I have a mitac 9050D

I'm afraid 'wireless like' means not alot today! If it's built in, it won't be visible. However, in Ubuntu 9.04 which I run on my laptop also, it should find and configure all of the cards listed in your machine. If not, you should try installing wicd, which is an alternative to the network-manager applet, and it picks up the slack on some cards. Have a go at doing that. Have you double checked in the BIOS that wireless is enabled?
