[SOLVED] Ubuntu 10.04 Installed wireless works but...

[mvd]

Hi Guys,

I'm new here, installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my Leonovo Thinkpad 13 yesterday it works fine but if i use the Networkmanager it shows wireless networks in the neighborhood but not my own DLINK network which is a ADSL Router encrypted with WPA-TKIP.

What can be the problem??

Many thanks.

Kind regards,
Mick

Have you turned off SSID broadcasting on the router/access-point? WPA-TKIP will not affect your ability to see the SSID of the device unless it is using a version of 802.11 that your laptop is not compatible with.

Thanks for your post, but broadcast SSID isn't on in the router.
Yesterday I rebooted the laptop and wireless showed my wireless network.
I connected to it, it worked for about 2 minutes then it didn't displayed any internet page.
I could not ping etc, it recieved a ip-address in my network but thats all.

I installed the windows drivers which i used in Win 7 with Ndiswrapper but that doesn't make any progress.

What is the following thing I can try to make it work?

You probably don't want to use the ndiswrapper driver with Ubuntu 10.04 unless nothing works at all. The fact that it worked for a bit is good in that it means the driver is functioning. However, if you did install a Windows driver and firmware with ndiswrapper and such, then you have a conflict. You really need to uninstall that part totally. Do you know what chip set the wireless is using? Execute the command 'lspci' and see if the wireless chip set is seen. You can post the output here if you aren't sure.

Doh! Never mind. I see the lspci output from your previous post... Early morning blind-eye syndrome I think...

Ok. This page should be of some help.

Thanks for the solution.

A fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 and de kernel update solved the problem.
It works fine now.

Many thanks.
