Hi Kevin,
Thanks. I've not used ndiswrapper so have no opinion as to whether I
like the colour or it's appearance; beauty is only skin deep :)
So there's the possibility it may work better using ndis? I'll have to
look into that.
Do the routers need to be power-cycled???? Do you mean switching them
off and back on again improves connectivity?
Thanks again,
Patrick

ndis is ugly. but at least it works. I have had problems using
madwifi, and acx-100 drivers.
my wireless connection is as good as the windows connection around the
house, usually my problem with connection stems from the D-link
wireless router/switch requires a power cycle (must be running
windows)
Hi all,
I have 5.0.4 installed (dual boot with Windersninetyeight) on an old
Compaq 7770DMT Armada.
I have a D-Link DWL-650+ wireless card - picked up by Ubuntu 'out-of-the
-box'.
I've set everything to default (on the w'router) so there's no WEP etc.
This is in my living room - the only place I can get a wireless connection.
Ubuntu recognises the card and I've set the wlan0 as default and it
starts on boot BUT the connection seem quite unstable with Ubuntu but
less so with Winders (!!!!!) - is this something to do with Ubuntu's
connection to the card????
Is there a wireless signal strength app I can install to check what it's
able to 'see'?
Is there something else I need to look at?
I'm new to wireless in Linux, and so would appreciate any assistance
able to be offered. I'm assuming there are other settings I need to
change, but I'm afraid I'm not sure where to start.
(Footnote. Still can't get sound going (ESS 1868 I think, but I'm
working on that - unless someone has resolved this and has a few notes
for me :)
Many thank,
Patrick
