Hi. I had the same problem, but a different card. Mine is a Belkin f7010, version 7 or 7000 (same thing). In Fiesty, I got it to work just by following these instructions:
"http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...Downloads=true Download the windows xp version of net8185.inf Extract the file into a directory of your choice. install the driver sudo ndiswrapper -i net8185.inf update the driver with the PCI ID sudo ndiswrapper -a 1799:700f net8185 restart the computer. then ndiswrapper -l should show that it exists. net8185 : driver installed device (1799:700F) present then configure it through System>Admin>Networking" So, that worked in Fiesty, and it did in Gutsy too - ndiswrapper -l reported the device present. However, ifconfig, iwconfig still would not see it, _at all_. I tried a whole bunch of commands, one of them being "sudo lshw -C network". At the bottom of the output, it said *network UNCLAIMED, and then said a bunch of things about my Belkin card (sorry, the terminal didn't save the output as I was randomly trying every command I found to get it working). The next thing that did it was doing "ifconfig wlan0 up" - tried it out of the blue, since I remember wlan0 being my wireless. That did something, as iwconfig now reported the card. After that I went to system - administration - network, my wireless was there. I manually connected to a network, had to choose the automatic DHCP configuration, then clicked "Ok", and had to enable the wireless device. That didn't finish it though, but by that time, my Wicd was able to see the networks about me, and I connected to one just fine. I'll attach the logs as needed. I'm really hoping this could be fixed, because it was -way- easier to get wireless working in Fiesty (I was told that the new kernel has a new wireless "stack", maybe that's it?) ** Attachment added: "dmesg.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10053205/dmesg.log -- madwifi no longer working in kernel 2.6.22-12 and 2.6.22-14 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151600 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
