How to wake up...
I'm not certain this is a linux problem or a hardware problem.
Several weeks ago installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a Toshiba L15 S104. Did standard install and update. Using Ndiswrapper and the driver installed had the wireless working. Then did a couple of addons from Synaptic such as the Java JRE and Adobe. The next day the wireless no longer worked. A full re install failed to fix the problem. Following a suggestion I changed to Mepis 8.5 and the same results. My question how to wake up the ethernet controller? lspci shows: 02:04.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01) iwconfig: lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:1 Mb/s RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 I have tried to use some of the iwconfig commands but not knowledge able enough to go too far. thanks in advance.

Hello,
I don't know that laptop but imagine it has a hardware switch to turn on/off the wireless. Is that by any chance turned off? Kind regards, Eric |
I verified this AM that the wi-fi switch is in the on position.
Always good to check when not sure. Otto-1062 |
Solved
Do not know what or why this occured or what caused it
but Windows XP was reinstalled and the wireless works. Not a linux solve but the prudent one. Thanks all for the interest. |
