Ubuntu Wireless Network Manager Issue

lacrosse_man16 · 07-08-2008, 01:26 AM

I have just upgraded my laptop to Ubuntu 8.04 and now I cannot view the wireless tab in the Network Manager. I know that the hardware is recognized by ndiswrapper, but im not to sure it has installed. This is what the terminal says once I have tried to run the "sudo depmode" code:

The code I am talking about is in the last two lines. To me it looks as if nothing was processed as no errors or confirmations were made after code was entered. As to the tab problem I am taking about here is another picture:

Hrmm... were you using a driver like madwifi? Also, what kind of link do you have to your kernel and is it valid? I believe you need a hard link or it will not function correctly.

I do not know what you speak of Robb, but I would like to give it a try if that will help. Just how do I hard link?

Install madwifi in Ubuntu

Installing MadWifi drivers...if you have an Atheros Wifi card.

What wireless card are we is in the notebook?
