| xeno__ | Hmm. I was sent here by someone on the #ubuntu channel. But the introductory title says it's not for "support". Can I ask questions here, or is this for bugs or something? | 06:26 |
|---|---|---|
| xeno__ | I've got this Toshiba Satellite Laptop which has never been able to do wireless with Ubuntu, but originally did it fine with XP. | 06:27 |
| xeno__ | A55-S3063 is the model specific number. | 06:28 |

| xeno__ | I was sent here by someone on the #ubuntu channel. But the introductory title says it's not for "support". Can I ask questions here, or is this for bugs or something? | 07:02 |
| tritium | xeno__: I asked you in #ubuntu what wireless chipset, and you never replied | 07:03 |
| xeno__ | Oh, I did but it slipped by. | 07:11 |
| xeno__ | Interface Type Integrated Intel PRO Wireless 2200 802.11b/g | 07:12 |
| xeno__ | This is from a web page for my model, so I'm not sure, but it sounds right. | 07:12 |
| tritium | xeno__: please run "lsmod | grep ipw" | 07:13 |
| xeno__ | I also was asking on there about the ndiswrapper that charlie mentioned, but messages came out fast and it was hard to keep track. | 07:13 |
| tritium | You don't need ndiswrapper for ipw2200 | 07:13 |
| ajmitch | it ought to Just Work | 07:13 |
| tritium | It's well supported. In fact, I'm using one right now. | 07:13 |
| tritium | It does "just work" for me on this Toshiba Tecra A2. | 07:13 |
| === ajmitch waves to tritium | ||
| xeno__ | xeno@radioflyer:~$ lsmod | grep ipw | 07:14 |
| xeno__ | ipw2200 147016 0 | 07:14 |
| xeno__ | ieee80211 33608 1 ipw2200 | 07:14 |
| xeno__ | xeno@radioflyer:~$ | 07:14 |
| tritium | Okay, module is loaded properly. | 07:14 |
| xeno__ | Among other symptoms, when I turn on the button on the left to try to use it, it seems to lock up all my network stuff. | 07:15 |
| tritium | xeno__: "stuff"? | 07:15 |
| xeno__ | This is not immediately repeatable, but happens after a while. | 07:16 |
| xeno__ | In other words, my wired connection I'm using now stops working when I leave the wireless on for a while...? | 07:16 |
| ajmitch | sounds about right, if you're using network-manager | 07:16 |
| ajmitch | it's generally a sign that it's picked up an ip address & has disabled the wired connection | 07:17 |
| xeno__ | I'm up for using the best thing for my circumstances. | 07:17 |
| xeno__ | I'll try something new if you recommend it. I just took what got loaded. | 07:17 |
| xeno__ | What got loaded with my standard install that is. | 07:17 |
| xeno__ | I've added applications, but I believe I've added nothing extra for network. Does that sound right? | 07:18 |
| tritium | xeno__: try manual configuration? | 07:18 |
| xeno__ | No. I've never seen my transmission come up on my firewall table, but I should check again now to make sure I'm not wasting you all's time... | 07:19 |
| xeno__ | I'm sorry, I just got pulled off. My apologies, but I'll have to try more later. | 07:21 |
| tritium | No problem. See you. | 07:23 |

| xeno__ | Say, I'm back trying to figure out my laptop. I have the firewall up with my mac address, but that device doesn't appear to have any pickup reporter. | 05:28 |
| xeno__ | It's a Netgear MR814v2. | 05:29 |
| xeno__ | Here are some other history items: | 05:30 |
| xeno__ | 1. My friend who sold it to me had wireless working fine on it with Windows XP. | 05:30 |
| xeno__ | 2. I installed Breezy on it last Summer and then upgraded to Dapper. It never worked with the wireless net at my employment at the time. | 05:31 |
| xeno__ | 3. I upgraded recently to Edgy and then to Feisty, and most everything else on this Toshiba Satellite A55-S3063 works fine. | 05:32 |
| xeno__ | When I go right now to the network GUI under System it has a check to the left of "wired " and a minus to the left of "wireless" | 05:34 |
| xeno__ | ifconfig shows an eth0 for my wireless NIC that is not configured for IP. | 05:35 |
