Hi all. This is my 1st mail, so I would firstly like to introduce myself. My name is Pepe (^_Pepe_^) and I'm from Spain, I use a very odd English (sorry!), and I'm a pretty new joiner in Ubuntu world, after 10 or more years not using Unix. I've successfully installed Ubuntu 8.10 in my General Purpose PC (PC #1, E8200), in my fully-BOINC-deployed-full-unnattended PC (PC#3, Pentium 4, 2.40) and in my HTPC (PC#2 AMD x2). I've read some issues in my netbook with 8.10, so I've installed 8.04.1 with some success. My problem is that since the Wifi card is not supported (AFAIK), I had to use Ndiswrapper to make it work. <ul><li>sudo depmod -a </li><li>sudo modprobe ndiswrapper </li><li>echo 'ndiswrapper' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules </li> <li>sudo ndiswrapper -m </li></ul>I've downloaded the Windows driver (<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/132471960/ralink_rt2860.tar.gz">http://rapidshare.com/files/132471960/ralink_rt2860.tar.gz</a>) for Ratlink 2860, and after a <ul><li>sudo ndiswrapper -i rt2860.inf </li><li>sudo ndiswrapper -l </li></ul>I've my wifi system working...but with less "power" than Windows. Working on my living room, I have no troubles, because my router is 2 meter away. But, when I go to my bedroom (next floor) wifi signal goes down quickly and finally shuts down the connection... :-( I've read surfing somewhere, that ndiswrapper has this behaviour and madwifi works better managing Wifi power. My question is: Can I use madwifi somehow? Any how-to??? Thanks, ^_Pepe_^
