This wiki page might be useful. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported Regards, Steve Hi James, The link I provided will tell you how to find out. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported The quickest way involves using a cli command, lspci. E.g. :~$ lspci | grep Network 01:0a.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03) If you see something like the above then you have a Broadcom card and need to download some firmware to get it working. So if you're on Ubuntu 7.10, then you should be able to install it in the System - Administration - Restricted Drivers Manager, with a wired connection.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Linux Comaptible Hardware

And of course it does work fine under Linux, except the all the U3 junk they come pre-installed with that is. Dave, There is a (sadly Windows only) utility that will remove the U3 stuff from the flash drive, I found it last week after a year of so of annoyance...

[ubuntu-uk] motorola v3 phone
hi all has anyone managed to get their motorola v3 working on linux? I only run linux in the house (apart from a couple of old, decrepid windows laptops), and would like an easier method of file transfer than bluetooth - mainly because it's slow. When I plug it in, it appears to be /dev/ttyACM0, but I'm not sure how to mount it. I entered it under /etc/fstab, but did not know what filesystem it was, so it couldn't mount it. If anyone has any ideas, please tell me :P. Thanks, Farran attachment: smiley-10.png-- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
