[ubuntu-uk] my laptop

2007-03-03 Thread London School of Puppetry
I have a secondhand Dell laptop- bought with nothing on it...and now I
have Ubuntu- the person who set it up for me says there is a problem
with it recognising a wireless signal...does that make sense to
anyone? Can something be done about this?

Hi Caroline,

What is the model of the laptop and which version of Ubuntu are you running?

Regards

Phil

I would be very surprised if there are enough details about the problem
there for anyone to diagnose it. We need more details about what you
have tried to do and what has gone wrong. 

Ubuntu comes with network manager for controlling connections to
wireless networks, and this should be in the system tray, if you click
on it you should get a list of available networks. Do you see Wireless
Networks as a line in that list.

If it is an irreparable problem with the built in wireless you can
probably add a PCMCIA wireless card.
