Unable to get wireless to work on HP DV7-1541nr running Lucid Lynx 10.04
I can't seem to get wireless to connect to anything. It seems to be working, but won't talk to anyone. I have tried a number of things from other suggestions, including recently removing the network-manager (which was a mistake) to replace it with wicd. Having removed it, I now have NO networking on my laptop.
I would really appreciate some suggestions to try. Here's some command output (all done prior to removing network-manager): tom@Owl:~$ ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:23:5a:b7:b0:4d inet addr:192.168.100.97 Bcast:192.168.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 inet6 addr: fe80::223:5aff:feb7:b04d/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6481 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3911 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:5672731 (5.6 MB) TX bytes:577116 (577.1 KB) Interrupt:28 Base address:0x2000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:16 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:16 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:960 (960.0 B) TX bytes:960 (960.0 B) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:26:5e:2d:20:6c UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) tom@Owl:~$ iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID: off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr: off Fragment thr: off Power Managementff tom@Owl:~$ sudo lshw -C network *-network description: Wireless interface product: AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter vendor: Atheros Communications Inc. physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:09:00.0 logical name: wlan0 version: 01 serial: 00:26:5e:2d:20:6c width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=ath5k latency=0 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bg resources: irq:18 memory:d1100000-d110ffff *-network description: Ethernet interface product: RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:0a:00.0 logical name: eth0 version: 02 serial: 00:23:5a:b7:b0:4d size: 100MB/s capacity: 100MB/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix vpd bus_master cap_list rom ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=r8169 driverversion=2.3LK-NAPI duplex=full ip=192.168.100.97 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=MII speed=100MB/s resources: irq:28 ioport:2000(size=256) memory:d1010000-d1010fff(prefetchable) memory:d1000000-d100ffff(prefetchable) memory:d1020000-d103ffff(prefetchable) tom@Owl:~$ sudo lspci -nnvv (edited down to just network info) 09:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc.

I have tried to research using Madwifi, but it seems outdated and replaced. I have considered wicd, but now I need to download it to another machine and bring it over on a flashdrive or reinstall network-manager. Appreciate any suggestions. |
I can see from this output that you use the following kernel module:

You will see that the AR5001 chipset is not supported by that driver. Alternatively, I recommend you checking this case: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...Driver/Atheros Hope it helps ! |
