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? [06:27] I've got this Toshiba Satellite Laptop which has never been able to do wireless with Ubuntu, but originally did it fine with XP. [06:28] A55-S3063 is the model specific number. === Starting logfile irclogs/ubuntu-laptop.log === ubuntulog [i=ubuntulo@ubuntu/bot/ubuntulog] has joined #ubuntu-laptop === Topic for #ubuntu-laptop: Welcome to the Ubuntu Laptop Team | This is not for support, please use #ubuntu === Topic (#ubuntu-laptop): set by Burgwork at Thu Dec 21 22:30:00 2006 [07:02] 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? [07:03] xeno__: I asked you in #ubuntu what wireless chipset, and you never replied [07:11] Oh, I did but it slipped by. [07:12] Interface Type Integrated Intel PRO Wireless 2200 802.11b/g [07:12] This is from a web page for my model, so I'm not sure, but it sounds right. [07:13] xeno__: please run "lsmod | grep ipw" [07:13] 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] You don't need ndiswrapper for ipw2200 [07:13] it ought to Just Work [07:13] It's well supported. In fact, I'm using one right now. [07:13] It does "just work" for me on this Toshiba Tecra A2. === ajmitch waves to tritium [07:14] xeno@radioflyer:~$ lsmod | grep ipw [07:14] ipw2200 147016 0 [07:14] ieee80211 33608 1 ipw2200 [07:14] xeno@radioflyer:~$ [07:14] Okay, module is loaded properly. [07:15] 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] xeno__: "stuff"? [07:16] This is not immediately repeatable, but happens after a while. [07:16] In other words, my wired connection I'm using now stops working when I leave the wireless on for a while...? [07:16] sounds about right, if you're using network-manager [07:17] it's generally a sign that it's picked up an ip address & has disabled the wired connection [07:17] I'm up for using the best thing for my circumstances. [07:17] I'll try something new if you recommend it. I just took what got loaded. [07:17] What got loaded with my standard install that is. [07:18] I've added applications, but I believe I've added nothing extra for network. Does that sound right? [07:18] xeno__: try manual configuration? [07:19] 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... [07:21] I'm sorry, I just got pulled off. My apologies, but I'll have to try more later. [07:23] No problem.

I have the firewall up with my mac address, but that device doesn't appear to have any pickup reporter. [05:29] It's a Netgear MR814v2. [05:30] Here are some other history items: [05:30] 1. My friend who sold it to me had wireless working fine on it with Windows XP. [05:31] 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. [05:32] 3. I upgraded recently to Edgy and then to Feisty, and most everything else on this Toshiba Satellite A55-S3063 works fine. [05:34] 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" [05:35] ifconfig shows an eth0 for my wireless NIC that is not configured for IP. === _Andrew [n=andrew@125-24-242-243.adsl.totbb.net] has joined #ubuntu-laptop === bicherele [n=bicherel@44.Red-83-56-190.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-laptop === Bassetts [n=Bassetts@5ac2ddd9.bb.sky.com] has joined #ubuntu-laptop === Manny [n=chris@p54969FEF.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-laptop === roadkill [n=roadkill@207-195-67-7.sktn.hsdb.sasknet.sk.ca] has joined #ubuntu-laptop [11:44] any one have problems with wifi stability?
