http://ubuntuforums.org – I have a Asus U52F-BBG6 running dual boot Backtrack 5 R1 and BlackBuntu 0.3 . My Issue is with my wireless card on BlackBuntu which is based off Ubuntu 10.10 which isn't supported anymore but my wireless card is a Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WIMAX 6250 but says disconnected on BlackBuntu 0.3 . When I type in ifconfig in terminal it shows eth0 and wmx0 but no wlan0 and installing Wicd to manage the wifi connection doesn't show up anything for wifi networks. The default connection manager doesn't scan for wifi networks you have to manually connect to a wifi network by setting one up by knowing B (Hardware)

Having Issues with wifi in BlackBuntu on my Asus U52F-BBG6 it doesn't see any wifi networks in my neighborhood even though I know they are there. I can connect on my BackTrack 5 R1 side but not on my BlackBuntu side. I have the same network manager Wicd on both my backtrack and blackbuntu but blackbuntu side sees no wifi networks but backtrack does. I haven't figured it out.

Backtrack 5 Wifi not working 1 year 18 weeks ago

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.

Hi all,

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and installed my Wifi card according to the directions in this thread:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2003669

The card is Intel Centrino Wireless Advanced-N-6230

As of yesterday the wifi is INTERMINABLY slow if it works at all but always connected.

Hello everybody,

After installing Ubuntu on my computer I had problems with wifi it disconnected from networks in an aleatory way. Then Wild Man helped me and now I have no problems with connection at home or at my friends. Now the problem is that at school it disconnects me quite regularly.

Hi guys,

I've got a wifi connection that drops around every half hour. When I go to the log I see this:

ubuntu wpa_supplicant[29144]: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=00:23:69:28:21:75 reason=7

It then connects again, but after a while it drops.

My wifi card is an AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter.

I recently purchased an asus ux50v and the wireless is acting very odd.

Firstly, I can pick up wireless network with it if I install WICD, because knetworkmanager picks up no networks. Secondly, if I type wlist scan a bunch of networks do show up.
