computer does not recognize wireless card WPC11 ver 4

Hello,

I am running ubuntu 8.04. I have a linksys wireless card WPC11 ver4 which the computer does not recognize. There is nothing wrong with the card as it works with windows XP. Is there a solution?

thank you

Please post the output of

Code:

lspci|grep Net

lsmod

ifconfig

I am just new on ubuntu, I had a similar problem and ubuntu was not recognising my wireless card. I connected directly (wired) to the internet and run updates. It was fix after that. hope this help

Strange; could you do

Code:

lspci

for me then?

Tried running updates, no luck.

lspci gives this:

Is the wireless card plugged in and turned on? It isn't be shown up, you see.

Find the wireless kill switch, then give us the output of

Code:

dmesg|tail

The wireless card turns on automatically when I put it into the slot.

here is what I get

You didn't say it was pcmcia. Fine;

Code:

pcmcia

clemenxe@clemenxe-laptop:~$
clemenxe@clemenxe-laptop:~$ pcmcia
bash: pcmcia: command not found

Code:

lspcmcia

sorry

clemenxe@clemenxe-laptop:~$

it wasn't before. With it plugged in I get this

clemenxe@clemenxe-laptop:~$ lspcmcia

Was it plugged in when you did any of the other stuff? Like lspci? It seems to suggest an entry may be in there.
