Ubuntu 9.1 wireless issues with HP dv6000

Ok can you please give the output of:

sudo lshw -C network

make sure you boot with the killswitch enabled (have the switch set to wifi enabled)

I'm at work now but as soon as I get home I will do so, kind of hard to post it on here being that I have no internet but I'll do my best, thanks for the quick response!

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

OK, can you please set this thread to status "solved", if the issue is solved?

Thanks,

Mark

Can you please post the fix as well please, so others can benefit

Thanks

All I did was connect through a hardline with my ethernet cord, updated
my copy of 9.1, then went into System -> Admin -> Hardware Drivers, then
checked both wireless drivers, applied, restarted, done, works
perfectly. Ubuntu is officially the best, I've used both Mac and
Windows, this blows them both away.
