    upgrade stopped wireless card working - HELP!

    I have a BelkinHigh-Speed Mode Wireless G USB Network Adaptor which was working fine using ndiswrapper in Kubuntu 7.04. Then I upgraded to 7.10 - the Network Adaptor does not seem to be detected. Is there some way that this could have been disabled, and hence could be enabled? Any help would be greatly appreciated here.

    Try this: run the command
    Code:
    kdesudo kate /etc/network/interfaces
    Replace the entire content of the file with the following:
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    address 127.0.0.1
    netmask 255.0.0.0

    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet dhcp

    auto eth1
    iface eth1 inet dhcp

    auto eth2
    iface eth2 inet dhcp

    auto wlan0
    iface wlan0 inet dhcp

    auto ath0
    #iface ath0 inet dhcp
    Be sure to leave a blank line at the end of the config; then, log out, restart X.org with Alt+E, log back in, and your connection should be detected. Let me know how it goes

        If you're on a laptop, and have the option to toggle the wireless connection, be sure it's on. I just upgraded to a wireless router for my laptop, and had an issue with Gutsy detecting my wireless card until I did the above
