Karmic installed now no wireless HP 1000 mini netbook

Asked by tom nelson

I upgraded my desktop computer to Karmic without a hitch. Upgrade to Karmic on HP 1000 caused all kinds of strange problems that became more complex with each boot. I reloaded windows and went for a clean install from CD. The big issue now is that the wireless network connection has disappeared.

You may need to load the firmware. Run the Hardware Drivers app in System --> Administration. It will tell you if you need them. For the HP1030 netbook, I needed the STA driver. You will need a (wired) network connection to do this.

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
