In Ubuntu you have an icon besides the clock that looks like 2 small computers, thats the "manual Network Configuration" you have a manual configuration option at the bottom when you scrool, it also show's wireless network's if any.
As comparison it doesn't look like you have any working wifi on your pc ? Heres my "iwconfig" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wifi0 no wireless extensions. ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"" Nickname:"" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power:13 dBm Sensitivity=1/1 Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=0/70 Signal level=-96 dBm Noise level=-96 dBm Rx invalid nwid:88014 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 I don't use the wifi in my pc (have router for that part) but it is ok and working Take a peek here: System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager I have to use "Atheros Hardware Access Layer (HAL)" otherwise the wifi NIC named ath0 wont work. Try the Ubuntu forums, and just google around, I'm also a linux n00b i started 2 months ago and i'm truly amazed by the wealth of information that is aviable on Linux, if you fine tune your googling skills you find everything -- Mnyb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45871 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
