Hello everton.
didn't we solve that issue with your network?

[everton]

nope...first i am having this problem...EVEN THOUGH I HAVE REINSTALLED 2.3, I STILL CANT CONNECT...WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM? INTERNET AND MODEM ARE OK

[Hawks-SOAD]

can you post the results of

Code: Select all

lspci

and

Code: Select all

sudo ifconfig

everton,

The way I see it ,you need to install the ndiswrapper
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install ndisgtk

or from synaptic under search ndiswrapper you need 3 files there to be install.

When you have installed this, there is a menu item in System >Administration >Windows Wireless Drivers or something similar, which should allow you to use the .inf file from your card's windows driver files, usually found on a CD with the card, or if not from a web search. You should have no need to use a tar.gz archive to install ndiswrapper.Just click on the ok button when you see that error, then go to the network icon (two screens together) in your notification area, and the wireless networks detected should show. Click against the one you want to connect to, enter the password or whatever, and it should work OK.

[everton]
