Re: Acer Aspire One wireless issue
--- On Tue, 6/8/10, Joe j...@jretrading.com wrote: The first question is whether it picks up anybody's router. Is is a wireless problem, or a compatibility problem? Actually, the first first question is whether wireless is even turned on. I once got my Aspire One into a state where the wireless could not be enabled. After an hour or two, I turned to other things, and a couple of days later noticed that the wireless light was back on. I still have no idea why this happened. Sorry. To be more clear, I get wireless connection in Ubuntu 9.10 XP, but in Debian, no signal, not mine, not the neighbors. As I'm sure you know, Ubuntu is based on Debian, so it shouldn't be hard. Personally, while I run a Sid workstation and Lenny server, I've gone for Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my Aspire One, as Debian is a general-purpose OS, and UNR is targeted specifically at netbooks. Horses for courses: I wouldn't use Sid on a server, nor, usually, Stable on a workstation. I just ignore the Ubuntu kiddie stuff, and I've added openvpn and a bit of iptables wrangling. My reason for coming over to Debian was the latest Ubuntu 10.04. When I run torrents, after a short time I lose connection. Doesn't happen in XP or 9.10. After I tried failed to get a solution, I started wondering out loud how it was possible Ubuntu *Netbook* addition wasn't working on my netbook. That was when the discussion of Debian stable came up. But it shouldn't be hard to see what Ubuntu is running that Debian isn't: you have Synaptic on Ubuntu, which I find easier for tracking down this kind of issue than aptitude, which I prefer for installation and updating. Along with lsmod, /var/log/dmesg and a bit of poking about in /etc, this should solve the problem. UNR will run 'live', from a USB stick, so you can see what it does with wireless without affecting the Debian installation. While there's more than one way to do wireless, I'd stick with the way Ubuntu does it, as I know that works. Or does it? It works in 9.10, but not 10.04. And no, if I knew more about wireless myself, I'd be more specific, I'm just outlining how I'd go about finding the trouble. It seems like I'm in over my head. Sounds like I'd need to take a collage course on Linux or have a LOT of time on my hands.

You'll probably see that the first item(s) in the list refer to the install disk. So, until you get internet connection, you're gonna need to use some other means . . . like the install disk to get packages. Once you get connected, DO SOME HOMEWORK and figure out how to edit that file so that the system does not want to look at the install disk all of the time, but rather looks out at the web. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Once you get connected, DO SOME HOMEWORK and figure out how to edit that file so that the system does not want to look at the install disk all of the time, but rather looks out at the web. I was hoping it was a quick fix someone could suggest, but at least now I know what file I'm trying to edit, thanks! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
