Your system seems to be working in the beginning, you were just missing the authentication credentials (ESSID, passphases) - clicking the network manager applet icon should give you a few boxes to fill them in. Then you f*cked it up by installing ndiswrapper. If you use ndiswrapper you should go to the ndiswrapper mailing list. It is quite in-appropriate to ask somebody to read a 5-page web exchange. I lost patience after the first one. --- On Wed, 11/2/09, Redeye jonatmm...@msn.com wrote: Hi Folks, Can someone with some knowledge help me please, ive now been told to use lenny, however i think were sooo close to sorting out usb wifi card that uses zd1211 that i would love someone with some knowledge to spend 5 mins havin a read please. here is the post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1063274 -- Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.

EDIT: 2nd page post 16 is starting from scratch again with a clean install, please pick this up from there. I am guessing you were quite busy as there isnt 5 pages either. There is 4 pages with 1 post only on page 4. The only bits that would interest you would be posts 16-26 which is where i am then advised to use Lenny. So yes i would appreciate it if you could read 10 posts. I did add essid etc in network manager for wireless, however if you have a look at those posts wlan0 wouldnt ifup due to Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0. I have been asked by a moderator of the networking forum to get hold of the folk that own the wiki doc list and set every card that uses the zd1211 to Does Not Work In Ubuntu 8.1 Status. Rather than just going ahead and doing that, I went out of my way to find the developers, join the mailing list and asked for a little help, then received your response. To say that i am taken back by your comments is an understatement, so much for me trying to get some positive input and re-writing the zd1211 wiki for ubuntu 8.1 so that no other users would face similair problems. So is there anychance that either yourself or someone else can attempt to get this working, or would you like me to go ahead and set the hundreds of cards to do not work status for ubuntu 8.1? Please can we keep this positive and constructive from now on. I thought i was helping you. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/zd1211-and-ubuntu-8.1-problems-tp21944941p21970816.html Sent from the zd1211-devs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.

Re: [zd1211-devs] zd1211 and ubuntu 8.1 problems
It is still very inappropriate to ask somebody else to read pages and apges of post X to post Y. If you have a problem, state your problem concisely, states the steps you have taken, not ask others to go out of their way, do some homework, to help you. You have about 5 minutes of the attention of somebody who may be able to help you, and that's it. You do not waste that 5 minutes. The fact is, mailing list works very differently from personal e-mails - no body cares about your personal problems, however big it is to you - if by the end of reading of your post, it is still not clear what sort of problem you have and what you are talking about, most people will simply skip your post. All the background stuff you wrote is irrelevant. There is no useful information in your post to help you further. Hi again, Well i totally apologise for trying to provide you with factual information regarding what ubuntu is reporting hardware and driver wise. Please dont forget i am not just concerned about my personal problem, i was concerned to the fact that there are hundreds of cards running zd1211 and i was asked to set them all to do not work with Ubuntu 8.1, which would affect lots of users. I am unsure how to put this concisely without providing this information to you, however i will try. Wireless is not showing in network icon and querying the hardware the os can see the card, however it seems the driver is not installed corectly. Synaptic is showing that zd1211 source is not active Sparklan WUBZ-103 shows as Fiberline WL-430U which uses the zd1211 driver. sudo ifup wlan0 resulted in Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0. I was told that i need the zd1211-firmware but apt-get cannot get it with all repo's ticked as it is moved or obselete. downlaoding and installing from http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/z/zd1211-firmware/zd1211-firmware_2.21.0.0-0.1_all.deb errors out. I really hope that helps. Thats about as short as i can make it. Im not trying to get on your nerves.
