She still needs windows to connect remotely to her work, but otherwise she just needs internet, and word processing.<br /><br />I first tried Ubuntu. I got everything working except the wireless. <br /><br />I followed all the steps outlined <a href="http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43">here...<br /><br />http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43</a><br /><br />It appears that the firmware was updated correctly, and the drivers are installed. The problem seems to be with connecting to a router. I am not able to connect to mine, or any other router/wireless network.<br /><br />Afterwards, I installed Fedora 11 instead. Once again, everything (including direct ethernet) is working except the wireless. The firmware and drivers appear to be correct.<br /><br />Here are some details about the system...<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family: courier new;">[root@ruby ruby]# sudo iwconfig</span><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;"> lo no wireless extensions.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;"> eth0 no wireless extensions.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;"> wmaster0 no wireless extensions.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;"> wlan1 IEEE 802.11bg Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz</span><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;"> Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm</span><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;"> Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off</span><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;"> Encryption key:off</span><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;"> Power Management:off</span><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;"> Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0</span><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;"> Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0</span><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;"> Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0</span><br /><br /></span> <span style="font-family: courier new;font-size:78%;" >[root@ruby ruby]# sudo ifconfig<br />eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:36:22:75:57<br /> inet addr:192.168.3.101 Bcast:192.168.3.255 Mask:255.255.255.0<br /> inet6 addr: fe80::216:36ff:fe22:7557/64 Scope:Link<br /> UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1<br /> RX packets:580 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0<br /> TX packets:532 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0<br /> collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000<br /> RX bytes:261810 (255.6 KiB) TX bytes:107320 (104.8 KiB)<br /> Interrupt:16 Base address:0x2000<br /><br />lo Link encap:Local Loopback<br /> inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0<br /> inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host<br /> UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1<br /> RX packets:34 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0<br /> TX packets:34 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0<br /> collisions:0 txqueuelen:0<br /> RX bytes:2388 (2.3 KiB) TX bytes:2388 (2.3 KiB)</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/836232110780560036-1938462465335357791?l=ljubomirgorscak.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ljubomir Gorscakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14461114932281198167noreply@blogger.com48tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-836232110780560036.post-25177349921448478342010-01-23T09:00:00.000-08:002010-01-23T09:27:18.400-08:00I recently started a <a href="http://ljubomir-java.blogspot.com/">new blog</a> for the Seneca <a href="https://matrix.senecac.on.ca:8443/wiki/jac444a/index.php/Main_Page">Java course JAC444</a>.
