Hi,

Can you give us the output of the following commands (in a terminal window). I have two options, one will go to your screen (console), the other to a text file that you could move with a USB Stick and copy/paste from.

Console output:

lspci
lspci -vv
lsusb
dmesg
cat /proc/cpuinfo
free -m
uname -a
lsmod
iwconfig

Redirected output (will be in your home directory and called hwglinux.txt)

lspci >> ~/hwglinux.txt
lspci -vv >> ~/hwglinux.txt
lsusb >> ~/hwglinux.txt
dmesg >> ~/hwglinux.txt
cat /proc/cpuinfo >> ~/hwglinux.txt
free -m >> ~/hwglinux.txt
uname -a >> ~/hwglinux.txt
lsmod >> ~/hwglinux.txt
iwconfig >> ~/hwglinux.txt

I don't think so... the laptop supports IEEE 802.11 G. I have two routers here and it can't connect to either one of them. If I boot into Win7 then it works fine. Security is WPA2... it is all common protocols and encryption that I would be surprised if it was that. I don't know enough about Linux to troubleshoot it. Maybe the driver but I wouldn't know where to go for other drivers.

Are the router and your laptop using the same wireless protocol ?  Could
there be a mismatch there ?

Subject: [H] Linux Unbuntu support

I am running Elementary 0 on my old IBM X41 tablet. I can't get the Wifi to work... it sees my router but won't connect. All settings appear right... I am no Linux expert.. but just keeps trying to connect without resolving the connect or giving an error message. The only kind of support I can find for
Elementary 0 consists of chat group on the web site that where there are
lots of questions and no answers for anybody. Elementary 0 is Ubuntu based so I figure if I can find a good Ubuntu email group, or forum maybe I can get some help.... any body know of a good Utuntu user group / forum / email
list? Thanks w
