i don't use wireless on my desktop so i would like it permanently disabled...
each time i boot up it's back and receving up to 80mb of data from an unknown connection via wireless (i dont use wireless)
I have a Sony Vaio with an intel Pro/wireless 2200BG (calexico2) card that is broken. In windows I disabled this card and installed a USB wireless device (Realtek 802.11n WLAN adapter) which makes wireless connection possible. I cannot get a wireless connection in LUBUNTU because the computer keeps on trying to connect through the original (broken) hardware.
Hi I just deleted my windows XP and installed Ubuntu 9.10 earlier this morning. I used wired connection to get drivers for my wireless network card.
When I did lspci, the very last line states:
Network Controller: Broadcom Coporation BCM4311 902.11b/g WLAN(rev 01)
I am relatively new to Linux and have been trying to use Backtrack 5 but it doesnt detect my wireless card so I cant connect to any wireless networks, I am using a Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC wireless card. I was wondering is there anything I can do like download drivers/patches etc. to make my internal wireless card work, or will I have to buy an external USB wifi adapter.
I installed a copy of Ubuntu on a separate partition. However when I select Ubuntu and it loads, I can't not get my wireless card to work. I have an HP Pavillion dv9000 and I am aware that have a particular driver for the wireless card that they use for this model.
I'm a little new to all the intricacies of Linux workings, so please bear with me if this is a dumb question.
I'm using Linux Mint 12 and I have an Asus PCE-N15 wireless card, which is running the Windows driver. Anyway, periodically I completely lose my connection, though Network Manager and iwconfig still claim that it's fine.
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.4 on my new Dell Studio 1558. After installing the broadcom proprietary driver for my wireless card, the wireless for my laptop worked fine.
hi i had windows 8 and it crashed, so i decided that i would install Ubuntu to replace it. i installed 12.10 and my wireless card (for wifi and wimax) will not connect to any network. my computer us an asus u56-e with a Intel centrino wireless-n 6150 wifi wimax card.
My Dell Mini 1018 used to work fine with Ubuntu 12.04 with no problems connecting with the wireless card. Then I made the big mistake of attempting to disable WiFi by right-clicking on the wireless applet and un-checking "Enable Wireless." Since then, I cannot get wireless working again.
