Ubuntu Wireless Card Incabability by yemibee(m): 11:00am On Mar 26, 2008 |
I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 on a Dell Inspiron 1525. It is very lovely, but i just cant get to use my Wireless Card, and so its almost useless to me without that. Any references or suggestions would really be appreciated. Cheers |

bro i need to know the type of wireless card u use , before that have u checked your restricted driver manager , Ubuntu has a restricted Driver manager wh contains those driver in your system that are not open source and as such are disabled by default , but u can enable them and ubuntu would if necessary download the necessary driver needed, to check your restricted driver , go to system/administration/restricted driver manager , in your top- panel, u will see all the drivers that are not open source on your system , to enbale them u have to check them look at mine u can see that i have checked my two restricted drivers which in my case are my nvidia cards and my intel wireless card Damn! i have being banned for uploading images edit *ok i found a way around the ban anyway just check your restricted driver and tell me what gives, if that doesnt help , tell me the type of wireless card your system is running and u can find that under System/Preference/Hardware Information scroll through to your wireless card good luck |

Hey, thanks for ur reply. There are no restricted drivers required on the system funny though it does recognise the internal bluetooth adapter. The Wireless adapter is a Dell Wireless MiniCard 1395 WLAN Mini Card. Thanks for the note. Cheers |
