[TriLUG] Help w/ wireless setup

[Christopher Blackmon]

ndiswrapper -l returns nothing... so I'm guessing that no drivers are being loaded by ndiswrapper.

/var/log/messages shows:
Jul 12 08:28:44 ckblackm-laptop kernel: [   43.692000] prism2pci_init: prism2_pci.o: 0.2.5 Loaded

Are you trying to use ndiswrapper for your driver? ndiswrapper calls the wnic 
wlan whatever, while native drivers call it something else. If you don't want 
ndiswrapper, remove it from your /etc/modprobe tree (or whatever it's called 
in Ubuntu), and blacklist it in /etc/modprobe/blacklist or wherever.

Look for telltale messages in /var/log/messages.

Look for telltale messages in dmesg.

There are some wifi troubleshooting tips here:
