I have reset my wireless router and reconfigured the settings on the
router, I first tested Feisty without the need to have a WEP key for
connection and all seemed fine. I then added the WEP key settings and
so far it is still functioning correctly.
You could try reseting your routers and set it b
Yes Flossgeek,
There's a lot that's difficult to understand and I certainly don't
understand enough to make any real comment accept that all problems
disappear on both Win Xp and UBuntu when I connect to the wireless router
with a wire !
OK at least the logic implies it can't be UBuntu specific.

Yes something isn't quite right, and the network is getting confused

that with out a definate reason for why!

Hi Flossgeek,
There's more to this stuff than meets the eye, when I connect (wireless) to
our wireless router with a file share client (bit comet etc) it will break
the effective connection though it will still show a running ok in the task
bar.
This happens in both Windows and Ubuntu, if I take a
Its a strange one for me it is irregular sometimes it works other times
it doesn't. I do find by hard reseting my wireless router seems to make
it work again.
I have the following installed too:-
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-13-generic
linux-restricted-modules-common
linux-restricted-modules-g
for general information - the fix is to install the restricted package.
the driver is restricted, in the way ubuntu can distribute it, so needs
to be in the linux-restricted-modules.
For understanding packages being kept back, you may want to look at man
apt-get - it explains a lot more of this.
That Bug's taking a walk !
Sarah's advise to update the kernel and install the restricted package
seemed to fix my Dell with a Pro/Wireless 2200BG.
That was probably a kernel ago now.
Let's hope there will be a real solution as it looks like this card is
pretty ubiquitous.

I have an IBM Thinkpad with the PRO/Wireless 2200BG card, has functioned
perfectly until now. Network manager does connect, asks for my keyring
password and connects according to the icon. I see a strong signal
strength, and it reports that it is connected.
If i do a ping everything seems fine, ho
Thanks Chris,
I was beginning to take it personally.

Hi Benoit,
Thanks again for your interest, Sarah's comments fixed the wireless
connection problem on my Dell.
I did see that although (when it was broken) I could choose the ESSID when I
then listed the wireless properties it gave ESSID as nothing, no value.
I don't know what that means or if it's
Yes Sarah,
It looked like herd 5 was well down the dev path but your point is solid.
I am looking for a workstation that I can use as reference when "normal"
people mention a MS Windows alternative and UBuntu seems to me to be so
close.
Impatience got the better of me.
Unfortunately I don't have mu
Hello !
In GNOME, it just says "Disconnected" ... I see the picture of 2 screens
on top right of my screen (with an attention mark), with the bar that
should be green which is orange.
So I guess it's not an issue with the driver for the card itself, but
with how it's used/setup for Internet use .
could you define "wont work" if you can pick your essid, and you get a
quality of signal? presumably it wont let you view webpages or
something?
Melvin, no problems :) You're going to run into these problems as you
run a development release, which is why people new to ubuntu should not
be runnin
Hello !
I checked on my laptop ... In fact, kernel -11 is installed and

packages, but it still won't work ...
I guess the WiFi card is still recognized, as in the properties I can
choose my network (ESSID) and it even gives me
Thanks Sarah,
Youra doll, I've been pulling this thinning hair out !

Please upgrade to the -11 kernel (run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-
get dist-upgrade again)
Then, please install linux-restricted-modules-generic, and reboot the
machine, and see if this problem still occurs.
This package normally gets installed when you run the installer - it can
just be a qu

I faced exactly the same problem yesterday with a no-brand laptop with
exactly the same WiFi card. (Intel 2200BG)
In fact, some of the kernel related packages were not installed (they
were updated this morning), so maybe it might come from inconsistencies
between kernel packages (some ker
