Kubuntu Wireless Problem

ukulele_ninja · 07-15-2007, 08:11 PM

I installed Kubuntu Linux last night and have been trying to get my wireless internet to work. I followed the steps to download the wrapper program and installed my .dll file for the driver, but now it says it cant find my hardware. Before I installed the driver, it would at least recognize that the hardware was present. I have done all the updates and such and downloaded a few different wireless network assistant programs but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm glad to know you got it installed. Wireless Cards can be Complicated to install in Kubuntu. What type of card do you have? Is it internal or external? Another suggestion is go to www.ubuntuforums.org or www.kubuntuforums.com and post a thread there. Good Luck!

Mine is internal in my Compaq computer. I have the driver information and all but nothing Ive tried so far has worked. I did post a message in the kubuntu forums but to no avail yet.

Usually Kubuntu Forums can be a ghost town. Try www.ubuntuforums.org
