[Bug 226411] Re: Intel 3945ABG not working in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

[Craig Efrein]

Hello Leann,

Yes I am having an issue with PPP, I sent a question to Ubuntu's forums:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/45815.  Essentially,
using my Samsung Z230, I am no longer able to browse or ping.  I can
resolve DNS names but in spite of my efforts, I can not visit any pages.
I am however able to connect using my Virtual Windows 2003 server within
Ubuntu so I know the phone works and that connections are possible.

On a separate issue,  my WEP key has to be reentered every time I
connect.  I tried manually adding it to /etc/interfaces but no luck.
Also, I can not deactivate or activate WIFI with the FN +F5 key.  I can
however using the network-manager icon or via the kill switch on this
computer.    Finally, partimage won't backup my ntfs drive.   This is
important because in order to move onto 8.10, I had to move my
.virtualbox and .mozilla-thunderbird to my Western Digital 250.  They
are now available in my home drive using symbolic links.  I can use TAR
in the mean time but I prefer partimage.

Other than that, the WIFI support is excellent for me. Under 7.10, I
continually lost my connection and was forced to reboot to get it back.
Under 8.10, I stay connected.

If you could help me first with the PPP issue, I would sincerely
appreciate it.  I must connect to work and having to use windows to do
so, even virtual is very cumbersome.

Thank you,
Craig

> Two problems, the WIFI LED does not light up at all, 2nd problem, I can't connect to my Netgear WIFI router.   I normally use WEP 128 but even with that turned off, I still can't connect.  I have tried getting support on the Live CD forum and no one there has the answer.
