Re: Wifi

I am not an expert by any means, just have a little experience; sometimes graphics drivers, if they become corrupted, can inhibit your ability to connect to the internet when running the GUI. What graphics driver are you using? Can you update your computer when running the GUI (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade)? If not, can you update your computer in safe graphics mode?

Also, try these instructions; they should help. (Click the link)

Keep us (forum members) posted on your progress

Re: Wifi

Hi

If you could find out which wifi card your laptop has, then maybe somebody could help.
What issues are you experiencing?

I use network-manager and knetworkmanager on my laptop. Only issues I have with that solution is that the networkmanager daemon sometimes hangs and needs a restart after resuming from a suspend to ram. (IPW bg2200 card)

Try to open a konsole and type the command "iwconfig" if the module(driver) is loaded it should appear.

Re: Wifi

Can you post the output of lspci

Open a console, type in lspci and copy and paste here. that will allow us to see what wireless controller you have, and therefore tell you how to install the drivers.

Re: Wifi

I think his laptop has this configuration:

802.11g 2200BG man:8086 dev:4220
mini-PCI chipset: IPW2200 driver: ipw2200
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/

It should be supported. I found this command to be useful if you know part of the chipset name:

dmesg | grep ipw2200 -> will return more info on your wireless if it is the correct configuration above.

I googled your laptop brand and that is the wireless setup that was returned. I am just assuming that particular laptop is available only with that wireless.

Someone familiar with that chipset and wireless card can hopefully offer more info.

Re: Wifi

Okay, that is not the one I guessed at.

So, this info is for you:
Dell 802.11g Wireless 1390 man: 14e4 dev: 4311 Mini-PCI Bcm43xx

Check your device and make sure it corresponds with the above by using this command:
dmesg | grep 1390

That should give you the chipset info for the Wireless 1390 device (Dell).

You can also try this command:
lspci -n

I suggest you check out this site:
