[Bug 373791] Re: cannot connect wireless with jaunty

2009-06-01 Thread groovomata
I discovered that despite the fact the little wireless indicator light
was on, my wireless card was, in fact, not enabled (please read last
post). It is now enabled and seems to work fine.

[Bug 373791] Re: cannot connect wireless with jaunty

2009-06-01 Thread groovomata
I am currently typing this note using a wireless connection. After I was unable 
to get wireless to work with ubuntu 9.04, I got paranoid that my wireless 
adapter was no longer working and decided to see if it would work if I install 
Windows Vista on my computer. Lo and behold, it did not... but while digging 
around in vista, one dialogue box informed me that my card was not enabled, and 
indeed the little wireless light was not lit in vista. Once I enabled it, 
wireless worked fine in vista. So then I wiped out vista and re-installed 
Jaunty and voila! My wireless worked. I very much prefer ubuntu over Windows, 
but I do wish in all of the different outputs of various commands that I pored 
over, one of them had simply said that my wireless card was not enabled, 
afterall, the little wireless light was on the whole time in ubuntu. How was I 
to know?
Anyways, I'm happy to report that my wireless now works fine!

 Status in “network-manager” source package in Ubuntu: Invalid

 Bug description:
 I did a fresh install of Jaunty on my Dell Inspiron  6400 laptop.
 Previously, with 8.10 I was able to connect easily to my wireless network
 (and to other wireless networks as well). Now, the only time I can connect
 with my wireless network is immediately after rebooting, or coming out of
 suspend or hibernation. I am able to briefly connect, for a few minutes and
 then, every time, it will lose the connection and will not be able to
 reconnect. Wired connection works fine. I am using the Broadcom BCM4311
 fwcutter restricted driver. Initially, a few days ago, no wireless networks
 would be displayed in the network manager applet (though there are many),
 now I can see a number wireless networks, including my own, I just cannot
 connect. I'm not sure what has changed between 8.10 and 9.04 in this
 respect, however there are a number of threads in the ubuntuforum on this
 topic.

 Thanks,
 Erik.

groovomata, have you tried installing the Broadcom STA wireless driver
from System - Administration - Hardware Drivers? I have a broadcom
card and Broadcom's own drivers installed from there have been very good
to me!

Thanks Michael, for your comment. I did try the Broadcom STA wireless
driver, but it doesn't seem to work. On my laptop the wireless indicator
light will not go on and network-manager does not show me a list of
wireless networks. With the Broadcom BCM4311 driver at least the
wireless indicator light will go on and I can see a list wireless
networks, even if I can't properly connect to any of them!

2009-05-13 Thread groovomata
I did a reboot, however I'll try it again tonight and report back. I wonder why 
wireless indicator light doesn't come on with the Broadcom STA driver? What 
I'll do is remove the BCM4311 driver. Reboot. Install the STA driver. Reboot 
and attached the results of the various commands above for the Broadcom STA 
driver. Perhaps that will shed some light on the situation.
Thanks,
Erik.

Hey again groovomata,

If you get a chance to try with a different wireless card, perhaps a USB
one, obviously, it is almost certain that is your card, but its
certainly worth checking if we can.

Cheers again,
ben

2009-05-09 Thread Ben Crisford
I am going to confirm this.

Obviously I cannot reproduce this as we have different network cards.

But I think there is sufficient information to come to the conclusion
that this is in fact a bug.  If I am wrong I encourage anyone to correct
me, and ultimately a bug controller will have to decide whether to
triage this or not.  But based on the information given, id say this is
worthy of confirmation.

If anyone else has a broadcom card, it would be fantastic if you could
comment.

Cheers,
Ben

Open terminal and type 'lspci' (sans quotes) and see if you can see your
wireless adapter there.

It would be very useful if you could post this here, because you
mentioned what driver you were using :), but not what hardware.

Sorry, I should have explained my last comment a little better.

The aim of the lspci is to establish the name of what your card is
called, not to see if it was there.

Sorry if I confused anyone,
