realtek RTL8185 Wireless LAN no longer available kubuntu 7.04?

Asked by R0sbif

Hi all,

Just a quick question: I used to be able to use the WLAN on my Alienware Aurora M9700 laptop on Kubuntu 6.10, but I have since gone forwards to 7.04 and now it's not visible in Knetworkmanager. It is actually "on" in terms of hardware, but it doesn't appear to be installed.

BTW I didn't upgrade from 6.10 to 7.04, but I reinstalled from scratch. Needed to take the opportunity to re-patition etc.

Any ideas on where my WLAN adaptor went to?

Thanks for your help

Cheers

Rich
