MA111v1 wifi

[Søren Hauberg]

Hi,
I just tried that and I get the following:

sudo ifup wlan0
Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0.

sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Ingen sådan enhed

The last is danish and means "No such device". In the networking tool in 
the menu wlan0 is not shown :-(

Thanks,
Søren
