I've never used Wubi, but it should not be any different from a conventional install as far as networking goes, as far as I know anyway.

Some more info would help. What chipset does your wireless card use? Run this command from a terminal (applications > accessories > terminal):
Post the output here. This will tell us what hardware is on your system, including wireless. Ubuntu also includes the lshw (list hardware) command for this purpose as well.

Also, since your wireless card connects via usb, run:
This will tell us if Ubuntu recognizes the usb wireless card.

Also, to find out what drivers are being loaded, including drivers for your wireless chip, run:
Post the output here also. From the output of those 2 commands we should be able to (hopefully) solve any driver related problems.
When you say your network is encrypted, is it using WEP or WPA? Knowing this would be helpful also. After we sort out if your wireless driver is running, try disabling encryption on the router temporarily so you can see if you can connect without encryption. Then we can work on connecting with encryption.

So the steps we need to take are:
1. Find out what wireless chip you are using.
2. Find out if the correct driver is being loaded for your wireless. If not, then we need to load it.
3. Once the correct driver is running, try to connect without encryption.
4. After successfully connecting without encryption, try to connect with encryption.


And welcome to the LQ forums!

thnks illl do that

its using wep but as i said there is a unencrypted network around

Your Asus wireless card does not seem to be listed in the output of lspci. I suppose this is because it is a usb device. The Asus wireless device is listed in the output of lsusb though:
This indicates it uses a Ralink chip. This is good, since Ralink chipsets have native linux support included in the linux kernel now. Also, the correct driver seems to laoded as well. It is listed in the output of lsmod:
The LQ forums HCL (Hardware Compatibility List) confirms that your Asus wireless device uses the rt2500 driver:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/sh...p?product=2728
The more recent (2.6.27-7-generic) kernel in Ubuntu 8.10 should have better support for your wireless device than the kernels discussed on that page in the HCL.
This leads to another question: You did not say what version of Ubuntu you are running. Are you using the most recent version of Ubuntu? The most recent is 8.10. If you are running 8.04 LTS that should be ok. Just be sure to enable the backports repository (in system > administration > software sources) so you can get updates for your wireless drivers. If you are using 8.04 LTS and we can't get your wireless running, I would suggest installing 8.10 to get the newer kernel, which should give you better drivers for your wireless.
So tell us what version of Ubuntu you are using.

OK, so your wireless device is detected in lsusb, and lsmod indicates the correct driver is loaded. WEP encryption is pretty easy, so lets go for it!
Open up: system > preferences > network_configuration. Click on the wireless tab. You should (hopefully) see wlan0 as your only wireless device listed there. Highlight wlan0, and click the edit button on the right. On the Wireless tab, enter your router's essid in the SSID field. Set Mode to Infrastucture. On the Wireless_Security tab, set Security to WEP 40/128-bit key. Enter your password in the Key field. Click OK, and close the Network_Configuration box. Then reboot the laptop and you should (hopefully) be able to connect to your wireless router.

My wireless pcmcia card uses the Ralink rt61 driver, and I use WEP also. This is how I set up my laptop's wireless. Good luck, let me know how you make out.

i used wubi like a week maybe a week and a half ago so i think its supposed to be 8.10
even tough i got a memory of installing 8.04 anyway im sure its 8
ill try what you said now and by the way im using a regular computer not a laptop
well ill post when im done

i found this on the link you posted

It works on PCLinuxOS 2007 Ok, but not in Ubuntu.

soory double post oups!

To find out what version of Ubuntu you are using, open: system > about_ubuntu. Right below the Ubuntu logo it should say: "Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu 8.10 - the Intrepid Ibex..." if you are running version 8.10.
If you are running 8.04, it will likely say something like "8.04 Hardy Heron" if it is 8.04.

You are very close to getting wireless working! Your wireless device is recognized, and your wireless driver is running. All you need to do is configure Ubuntu to connect to your router as I detailed in my last post, and you are good to go!

hi

I suggest you consider WPA in lieu of WEP
http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/58757.html

and a kinds howto
http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wp...ntu-linux.html

im running 8.04LTS

what u said

i dont have that location i have system>administration>network
and it looks diffrent

and i dont think a password is the problem since it doesnt connects to a reguler wlan without a passwordd as well

OK, in Ubuntu 8.04 it was: system > administration > network. In 8.10 it got moved to: system > preferences > network_configuration. They both serve the same function though, so just enter your info in system > administration > network. It may look a bit different than what I described in my lasy post, but all the same info is there.

For now, just try what I suggested. Enter your router's essid and WEP password in the network configuration tool, save, and exit. Then reboot and see if you can get online. If you can't, then try disabling the security on your router and see if you can connect just by entering your router's essid in the network configuration tool. Aslo if a enable roaming mode (or something like that) box is checked, uncheck that.

it didnt work any other ideas?

How exactly are you trying to connect to this "wlan without a password"? Tell me exactly what you are doing here.
To connect to an unencrypted wlan, open a terminal and try this:
This will list all your wired and wireless devices that are actively running. You should see wlan0 listed there. Then:
This will list all the wireless networks that your wireless device can find with a scan. You will get an output like this:
I have edited out my info where all the XXXXs are. For an unencrypted network it will say "Encryption keyff". To connect to that unencrypted network, do this:
If the essid has a space in it, then put quotes around it like this: "your essid". Then run:
This will attempt to get a dhcp address for your wireless device to get online. If all went well, you should be online at this point. If you run "sudo ifconfig" now you should see an IP address in the output of ifconfig for wlan0.

To connect to your WEP encrypted network, run:
Try running these commands I have given here. Post the output of each command here.
