wifi

[cliff1976]

I had similar symptoms under Hoary. I followed the instructions under
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WiFiHowto and had to install ndiswrapper (even had
to compile it myself), but all those instructions were referenced properly
in the wikis.

I was pleased as punch that I didn't have to go through that again while
upgrading to Breezy. I don't know enough modules to say whether that module
survived the upgrade, or Breezy has something wonderful about it that just
didn't need that module anymore to work with my card.

Good luck,

Does wifi work at all on ubuntu/kubutu ? I've tried many different
configurations without any success (it was working all-right on Gentoo).
When I run /etc/init.d/network restart it just hangs for a long long time
untill it say ok, but ath0 never gets an ip.
Currently, my interfaces look like this:
iface ath0 inet dhcp
 wireless-essid Default
auto ath0

(among other things of course)
Am I missing anything ?

Using ubuntu, I managed to get non-wap wifi working in an eye-blink with its
graphical tool, I trugled a lot to get it to work with wep and I never got
it
stable. With kubuntu the graphical interface is totally useless and I can't
even get it to connect by hand.

My access point is currently configured like this:
(o) Enabled ( ) Disabled
SSID: Default
Channel: 6 [x] Auto select
Mode Setting: ( ) G Mode (o) Mix Mode
SSID Broadcast: (o) Enabled ( ) Disabled
Security: (o) None ( ) WEP ( ) WPA-PSK ( ) WPA

Any ideas are welcome, I intend to enable WEP latter.
Thank you.
