[18:10] <w-mute> Hi. What are possible causes to make "xrandr" print "VGA-0 disconnected", where VGA-0 is my external monitor and I'm really positive it /is/ connected?
[18:11] <w-mute> Sorry. Gotta get used to reading the channel description first.
[18:18] <E42> hi
[18:18] <E42> is there anyone who can help me with my wifi?
[18:19] <E42> i've got a very strange problem
[18:19] <w-mute> Maybe. Please tell me more.
[18:19] <E42> my wifi drivers seems to be ok
[18:19] <E42> but if i iwconfig
[18:19] <E42> i get
[18:19] <E42> NOT READY!
[18:19] <E42> i wrote that topic http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3793358
[18:19] <w-mute> Which latop, which card do you use?
[18:19] <E42> if u want read it please
[18:20] <E42> Fujistu Siemens AmiloD 1845,
[18:20] <E42> Prism Javelin/Prism Xbow
[18:20] <w-mute> Are you sure the module is loaded?
[18:20] <E42> i really got no idea whats the problem
[18:21] <E42> not really
[18:22] <E42> can you tell me how to check it?
[18:22] <E42> lsmod?
[18:22] <w-mute> Try lsmod | grep BLABLA where you replace "BLABLA" with some string that is unique to your wifi card. Like "prism".
[18:22] <w-mute> Or just lsmod and look for yourself. It's always hard to grep if you aren't sure what you should grep for.
[18:22] <E42> ok
[18:23] <E42> well there is a module
[18:23] <E42> prism54                     59016   0
[18:23] <E42> hmm i entered dmesg
[18:23] <w-mute> OK. Looks like the module is loaded but not used.
[18:24] <E42> and at the last line
[18:24] <E42> i got
[18:24] <E42> prism54: Your card/socket may be faulty, or IRQ line too busy :(
[18:24] <w-mute> Hmm. Strange.
[18:25] <E42> should i reinstall ubuntu
[18:25] <w-mute> No.
[18:25] <E42> at ubuntu 7.04 everything was fine
[18:25] <E42> i used ndiswrapper+ windows drivers
[18:25] <E42> and it was great
[18:25] <w-mute> Hmm. OK. I have absolutely no experience with that kinda setup.
[18:26] <E42> Ok, anyway thanks
[18:26] <w-mute> np
[18:26] <w-mute> You could boot from a 7.04 live CD and see if the card still works.
[18:26] <w-mute> Maybe there is a hardware problem.
[18:27] <E42> hmm
[18:27] <w-mute> If the card still works, you have a software-related issue. I guess Google will be your best friend, then.
[18:27] <E42> i got also windows on that laptop and the network works
[18:27] <E42> ok so i have to google my luck
[18:27] <w-mute> I think so.
[18:28] <E42> allright, thanks
[18:28] <w-mute> np
[18:28] <w-mute> I doubt I was of any help ...
