A little update - but still need help. I have booted up live version of 9.04 and guess what - yes Wifi works out of the box with no problems. Previously tried booting up 10.04 live cd but no such luck.
with 9.04 live the lshw -C Network output is as follows:- WARNING: you should run this program as super-user. *-network description: Ethernet interface product: 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: a bus info: p...@0000:00:0a.0 logical name: eth0 version: 0d serial: 00:00:39:3f:46:a5 width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: bus_master cap_list ethernet physical configuration: broadcast=yes driver=e100 driverversion=3.5.23-k6-NAPI firmware=N/A latency=64 maxlatency=56 mingnt=8 module=e100 multicast=yes *-network:0 description: Wireless interface physical id: 1 logical name: eth1 serial: 00:02:2d:6a:a2:d1 capabilities: ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=orinoco driverversion=0.15 firmware=Lucent/Agere 8.10 ip=192.168.0.6 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11b *-network:1 DISABLED description: Ethernet interface physical id: 2 logical name: pan0 serial: 32:cc:2c:b8:e9:2a capabilities: ethernet physical configuration: broadcast=yes driver=bridge driverversion=2.3 firmware=N/A multicast=yes Previously on my installed 10.04 version the same command produced this output: *-network description: Ethernet interface product: 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: a bus info: p...@0000:00:0a.0 logical name: eth0 version: 0d serial: 00:00:39:3f:46:a5 size: 10MB/s capacity: 100MB/s width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=e100 driverversion=3.5.24-k2-NAPI duplex=half firmware=N/A latency=64 link=no maxlatency=56 mingnt=8 multicast=yes port=MII speed=10MB/s resources: irq:11 memory:f7efe000-f7efefff ioport:eec0(size=64) memory:f7ec0000-f7edffff *-network description: Wireless LAN Card product: Version 01.01 vendor: TOSHIBA physical id: 0 slot: Socket 0 resources: irq:11 *-network:0 description: Wireless interface physical id: 2 logical name: wlan0 serial: 00:0f:cb:c0:fe:cd capabilities: ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes ip=192.168.0.8 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bg *-network:1 description: Wireless interface physical id: 3 logical name: eth1 serial: 00:02:2d:6a:a2:d1 capabilities: ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=orinoco driverversion=0.15 firmware=Lucent/Agere 9.48 link=no multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11b There are differences - but what do I need to do in 10.4 to make it work like 9.04 live does? If its a driver issue I beg for some gentle hand holding to put right. Seems to be some issues though about eth0 and eth1. Is the wireless in 9.04 pretending to be a wired? Please help.
