Sorry, but your wi-fi inetrface is not a internal pci, it is a external device ??? If it is a usb device, put this in the usb bus and than do in a shell:

$: lsusb

Thanks

have a look at my lspcmcia output:

Socket 0 Bridge: [yenta_cardbus] (bus ID: 0000:02:0c.0)
Socket 0 Device 0: [orinoco_cs] (bus ID: 0.0)
Socket 1 Bridge: [yenta_cardbus] (bus ID: 0000:02:0d.0)
Socket 2 Bridge: [yenta_cardbus] (bus ID: 0000:02:0d.1)

As you can see in the second line there is the interface
Actually the interface is working and I can connect to my wireless router using wpe encryption.

The problem is that I can't use wpa. Using the gnome network applet, wap mode is not available.

I think the problem is related to the orinoco driver and wpa_supplicant because in winXP I can use the wpa mode

Thanks many, you can see this:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=286621

it's a mini how-to for ubuntu 6.10, but it works fine in ubuntu 7.04 too.

Thanks

Thanks, but I don't want to recompile the kernel.
Seems that the native orinoco driver has some problems with wpa.

Unfortunately I think I'll move bacl to win until there is a driver or a new kernel fixing the problem

anyway, thank a lot for your help

Hi, but this how-to don't ask you to recompile the kernel, but you must compile the correct driver, if you want we can do it.

Thanks

Great!
I'd be great if you could.
My laptop is too slow to compile the driver.

I'm using Feisty Fawn so the kernel version is 2.6.20-15

thanks in advance

let me know

bye

Ok, we start ....
Open a shell and do this command:

$: sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`

$: mkdir print && cd print

$: wget http://www.projectiwear.org/~plasmahh/orinoco-0.13e-SN-14.tar.bz2

$: tar -xzvf orinoco-0.13e-SN-14.tar.bz2

$: cd orinoco-0.13e-SN-14

$: make

#don't worry for the error, the result will be ok :)

$: sudo cp *.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless

REBOOT

The drivers are now installed, your NM now can found your card. Let me know. Thanks

I tried but it doesn't wok.
"Make" doesn't create the .ko files

Ok, I think the new driver sole most problems:

$: wget http://www.projectiwear.org/~plasmahh/orinoco-0.13e-SN-15.tar.bz2

$: tar -xzvf orinoco-0.13e-SN-15.tar.bz2

$: cd orinoco-0.13e-SN-15

Ok you can do all I wrote before, but the new wget are this. Thanks. Let me know.

Of course that should be tar -xjvf orinoco-0.13e-SN-15.tar.bz2

No way
still a lot of error when I try make

There are some problems with this driver. I try to understand. wait thanks
