Using "Add/Remove applications" installed Wine (Windows emulator) and Windows Wireless Drivers (Ndiswrapper driver installation tool). Downloaded R151517.EXE from here(quicker) http://mytopfiles.com/programs/file/R151517/94350.htm and moved it to a new folder called R151517 (to avoid spraying files all over the place!) Clicked on it and Wine decompressed the contents. Opened System/Administration/Windows Wireless Drivers and selected "Install New <BR/>Driver". Navigated to R151517/DRIVER to locate the inf file and installed <BR/>the driver. Lo and behold! It now works.Berievhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04284651595316348286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-77768011410028351502008-06-04T19:54:00.000-05:002008-06-04T19:54:00.000-05:00Link is dead - http://download38.mediafire.com/2bd...Link is dead - http://download38.mediafire.com/2bdi9e0d0l7g/jyjze9dd7t9/network-manager_0.6.6-0ubuntu1_i386.deb = 404Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00162104352017586908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-77582982709561503582008-05-30T17:24:00.000-05:002008-05-30T17:24:00.000-05:00Upgraded my DV2100 Notebook to Hardy, had wireless...Upgraded my DV2100 Notebook to Hardy, had wireless die on me, used <BR/>sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter<BR/>to get it back up and working.

It did work, but I had to reboot. After installing, I unplugged wireless and tried to bring the wireless connection up with no luck. I did use wired networking to download the fix and thought rebooting with the network cable unplugged would make sure that I really was using wireless and that DHCP was working correctly.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06355023027738757512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-65920313958263134342008-04-30T17:41:00.000-05:002008-04-30T17:41:00.000-05:00Thank you SO MUCH for the downgrade network manage...Thank you SO MUCH for the downgrade network manager advice.<BR/>I'm running an old Thinkpad T20 (i686) with a Kcorp KLG-520 wireless cardbus.<BR/><BR/>i was getting the 'perpetual load up' animation.<BR/><BR/>connected perfect now.<BR/>thankyou thankyou Thanks again!larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09506535406526454675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-56912884553184625062008-04-08T12:40:00.000-05:002008-04-08T12:40:00.000-05:00After upgrading today, my brightness control stop ...After upgrading today, my brightness control stop working.
