[03:30] <Pezhedz> hello edubuntu community
[03:31] <Damianos> Hello Pezheds
[03:31] <Pezhedz> is anyone gracious enough to help step me through troubleshooting my wireless setup?
[03:31] <Pezhedz> I've searched and searched and tried everything with no success on the forums. :(
[03:31] <Damianos> I'll try
[03:32] <Pezhedz> yay!  Thank you!
[03:32] <Damianos> what exactly is the problem?
[03:32] <Pezhedz> I have an hpDV2700 Broadcom 4311
[03:33] <Pezhedz> and have not had the wireless card recognized.
[03:33] <Damianos> so it's not showing up in network manager?
[03:33] <Pezhedz> no
[03:34] <Damianos> what about if you do a  ifconfig?
[03:34] <Pezhedz> iwconfig only displays lo and eth0
[03:35] <Pezhedz> same with ifconfig (with additional info)
[03:39] <Damianos> don't know what else to do...the only time I've ever had a NIC not detected was when I first started tinkering with Linux and a reinstall fixed it
[03:39] <Damianos> sorry I couldn't be of help
[03:40] <Damianos> I wonder if manually adding it to /etc/network/interfaces would do anything
[03:40] <Pezhedz> no worries. i figured I'd try the IRC channels to see if anyone ran into the same sort of trouble
[03:40] <Pezhedz> how do I do that?
[03:41] <Pezhedz> (manually add it to /etc/network/interfaces ?)
[03:41] <Damianos> well before network manager came onto the scene network interfaces used to be configured using the file /etc/network/interfaces
[03:42] <Damianos> it should be commented with instructions on how to add an interface
[03:44] <Pezhedz> ah ok
[03:44] <Pezhedz> I think i stumbled upon that. I'll look at that again.
[03:44] <Pezhedz> thanks for your time, Damianos.
[03:47] <Damianos> lspci
[03:47] <Damianos> dammit he left
[21:56] <jbicha> hi, I have a merge proposal for bug 692295, am I going to need a FFE too?
