wireless issue using UNR 9.10

Asked by chf

Hello,

I just installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR) on my dell mini 10v. However, there is no option to automatically connect to a wireless network. There is just Auto eth0 for wired connections.

Does someone has experience with this issue and knows how to solve it or should it be reported as a bug.

Best regards

chf

Hi,

Please first connect your network card to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).

In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->Terminal"

Step 2: Please copy-paste the following command from the https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu website in Firefox into the Linux Terminal. Do NOT copy-paste from the Email message into the Terminal, as that will only copy PART of the command. The command STARTS with the word sudo and ENDS with the word restart. So please copy-paste the ENTIRE command below from Firefox into a Terminal, press <enter>, then enter password when sudo asks for password, then press enter again.

sudo lshw -C network; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; sudo lshw -C usb; uname -a; dmesg | grep ound; dmesg | grep b43; dmesg | grep iwl; iwconfig; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output) on this thread

Regards,

Mark

Hello,

I want to close the question for now. However, I didn't solve it. I have no time at the moment due to a very busy period in writing my master thesis. I will install UNR 9.04 again, because everything works fine with it.

Best regards and thanks for the help!
