i manage to make the wifi work in my x32 laptop. i noticed that wifi was working with xubuntu liveCD, so i compared different configuration files in both systems. When I compared the output of lsmod and dmesg I noticed two modules, orinoco and orinoco_cs loaded before eth1 was ready. So I modprobe both and straight away the network manager detected my card and tried to connect to my home wifi network.

I have added both modules to /etc/modules so that they are loaded on startup.

hi

just installed latest usb-deb iso in my X32 laptop (http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X32), i dont get any wireless device listed on ifconfig or iwconfig, this worked out of the box with plain ubuntu. Is there any module I need to force puredyne to load in order to make this work? Maybe this is one of those non free drivers that some distros dont like to distribute?

i see couple of other weird things like with the sleep (never seems to wake up), i will report as i explore it.

thanks

enrike
