Wireless MiniPCI card issues under Kubuntu 7.04 Feisty

[roger at rogerchrisman.com]

My guess: maybe Feisty doesn't have a suitable driver for that card.
Maybe that card's chipset is made by Broadcom or another company that
does not open source its drivers. If so, I suggest buying a wireless
card with a chipset made by a company that does open source its
drivers, like Intel does for example. Ndiswrapper can make Linux use
the card's Windows driver if you have it and can noodle it all
together. But it is worth your time and money to simply use a card
that has a real Linux driver, in my experience. What chipset is on
your new wireless card? Here's how to find out:

On your laptop (with the new wireless card installed), do:
lspci

That should show what company made your wireless card's chipset. If
you can't see it in there, maybe try:
lspci | grep -i net
or
lspci | grep -i wireless

Let us know what lspci shows about your card. Post the whole output of
lspci (for your laptop), if you like.


Cheers,
