I want to start by saying Im very new to the linux scene. I installed kubuntu 7.10 on my hp compaq nc6230 laptop. Problem is when I try to access my wireless home network it doesnt seem to work. although when plugged into the router it works. I have my router set to not broadcast my dns with a wep password. theres a button on the comp which lights up when the wireless card is active but I cant seem to make it come on, which leads me to believe its a driver issue but could be wrong. Please help, sorry this was so long winded, thx
"although when plugged into the router it works" - i think you're saying there that it works when wired, just not when wireless... ..have a few reads thru this epic thread as most of it's relevant in your situation - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/563575 and we'll go from there...but first you'll have to read all the replies i've done there as i'm in no hurry to go thru all that again...
yes I mean when its wired it works. Ok well Ill read over the link you gave me in the next couple of days and tell you what I manage to accomplish. thanks N0_0ne
You will have to install your Windows wireless drivers with "ndiswrapper" for your wireless connection to work. Just google it and you'll find tons of information on this.
