Re: [Bug 68196] Re: IBM thinkpad A31p: wireless ok in 6.06, not in 6.10.
Yes, there is now connection. Only two little questions: 1. The interface is eth1 - shouldnt it be wlan0, as iwconfig lists it when there is no wireless? also, the icon in the top menubar in Gnome is not a wireless icon, and now that I am connected its tooltip says No network connection. The other net icon says Network connection: lo 2. The default roaming mode located my net ok. But when I switched off roaming mode and entered the WEP key (ascii) then it could not connect. Then I switched off roaming and entered again, then success. Below is what I got with your two last commands. So .. nearly ok. My list of post-install-things-to-do is getting shorter: the fonts are smoother but still a poor selection of monospace fonts, all of which are much better on black-on-white than white-on-black. And too many fonts all in a long long list, good and bad together. Same with file color schemes: they have to be adjusted according to the window background. I always have to make directories blue background and white foreground because I use white-on-black, for example. I, and my fellow workers, spend all our time in Emacs, but Ubuntu does not have a decent Emacs-setup (with harmonic subdued colors for the most popular modes and fonts loaded) whereas for example Mandrivadrake has. Then a question i often get is whats the difference between [OK] button and [close] button - are the settings saved with [close]? The prompt (which I prefer as '(\h) \w ') cannot be set under profile it seems. Ok, i shouldnt write all this here. Thanks for helping.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 63989 *** Marking this as a dupe now (since the sudo modprobe worked). RE: wlan0 vs. eth1, this is up to the author of the driver, I guess, which name they want the driver to present. orinoco_pci likes to make it eth1. You can change this by editing /etc/iftab and putting your wireless card's MAC address in there alongside wlan0.

Oh, BTW, I've noticed that the Thinkpad hardware may need a cold boot to operate properly. I'm not sure why this is, but sometimes if I just reboot (via System/Quit.../Reboot), the wireless can't connect, so I have to actually shut down and press the power button to start it up again. -- IBM thinkpad A31p: wireless ok in 6.06, not in 6.10. https://launchpad.net/bugs/68196 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I booted with the 7.04 herd 4 live cd, and did the two things described in the fix. In both cases the wireless icon now shows in the network settings graphical tool (Gnome control center) - in 6.10 there were wired icons for both - but there are still two wired network icons in the desktop menu bar. When switching on and off the wireless network the tooltip message says you are now connected to wired network (or something to that effect). The output from /etc/init.d/networking restart is below. I did log out of Gnome and then back in, but no difference. I did not try 6.10. I clicked through the (good) hardware check interface, but seems there were no wireless check: it just made three green fly-legs under the network test. I can be reached at niels_larsen_denmark in skype if you need. I submitted a report with your hardware tool earlier.

If possible, could you please check and see if this works on a livecd environment of Ubuntu?

Same with live-cd. But I kind of made a mistake in the first post: there is no wireless icon, but there are two ethernet icons (that look like en electronics printed circuits) and one of them has (wlan0) to its right. -- IBM thinkpad A31p: wireless ok in 6.06, not in 6.10. https://launchpad.net/bugs/68196 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The output of iwconfig shows no wireless extensions for any of the interfaces on the laptop. This means that somewhere your wireless card isn't being detected as being wireless, and is why it shows up as an ethernet icon in the networking manager. -- IBM thinkpad A31p: wireless ok in 6.06, not in 6.10. https://launchpad.net/bugs/68196 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes .. I could make a 6.06 live CD (if it exists) just to verify that detects as wireless, or any other information you need.
