I recently came upon a Dell 1545 Inspiron laptop and decided to put a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. At first I couldn't connect to the internet because I did not install the driver for my wireless card (broadcom 4312), but then I installed the first of the two drivers under the proprietary drivers list, it was the Broadcom b43 wireless driver.
I have a friend with an old, still-working laptop that wants to switch to linux. (Dell Inspiron 7000 PII) I loaded Lubuntu because it's an old machine and has only 512MB of memory. The laptop has no built-in ethernet or wireless. As the title says, he has an EC2T card with it. I've tried to get lubuntu to recognize the card but it's a no-go.
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)
Hi, I have an Acer 1551-4755 notebook with AR5B93 wireless chipset. ath9k is loaded and my card is detected as Atheros AR928X PCI-Express wireless network adapter. However, the ath9k driver is only allowing me to connect at 802.11g speed in spite of the fact that my WRT310N loaded with DD-WRT is in mixed mode.
I have a DELL MINI 9 with Ubuntu 8.04 loaded on it. I LOST(forgot) my ADMIN Password. I tried and tried to get DELL support to help me, no luck even getting through. I came to the conclusion I needed to reinstall the OS. I don't have a CD-DRIVER for the Disk. I did however get my hands on a USB memory stick with Ubuntu 9.1 on it.
I just installed 11.2 on a Compaq Evo N1000v.
This particular machine was used and had no wireless card in it.
I bought a Linksys usb connector. Opensuse shows it in the network app but it shows no activity at all and does not 'see' the wireless network in the location
so, I have an old Avaya wireless card goes into the side slot of the laptop.
I have a Dell Laptop on which wireless is giving me problems.The card some times is detected and some times the card could not be detected.I noticed this problem started since I did suspend and resume of my laptop.
So I unistalled the Broadcomm STA driver and installed b43 then also things did not worked as expected.In a series of installation and unistallations of the wireless driver here things
OK, I have a wireless card: WPC11 v4.0, based on a Realtek chipset. I previously used the card in another laptop, and it worked fine (under 8.04). I put it into an n610c laptop, and it no longer works...
How might I confirm which driver is being used for my graphics card?
I've recently been having some graphics trouble with Wine, and, in attempting to resolve it, I realised that I don't actually have confirmation that the graphics driver that I intend to be in use is actually the one being loaded.
The intended driver should be installed, but I'm not confident that it's actually being used instea
