UNCLAIMED Wireless Network controller [0280]: RaLink Device [1814:5390] not working on HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC in Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
I have attempted many different configurations to get wifi setup for my HP Pavilion g7 since I first installed Ubuntu Lucid onto my hard drive last summer without success. Now, I have only an old D-Link DI-524 wireless router to use for wifi. I know that the router works, because I have another Linux laptop (EEEPC) that connects without any trouble (just simple configuration stuff). When I connect this HP laptop using an Ethernet cable, a wired connection is possible, but I can never get wireless working on the same HP laptop.
If followed the instructions on:
https:/
Here was the output you requested (note that issuing the lspci -nn command does not reveal the wireless adapter info) while connected via an Ethernet cable:
tim@tim-devel:~$ sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep rfkill; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/
