Public bug reported:
Kubuntu 7.04 "Fiesty" release seems to be missing important wireless LAN
drivers. I was using 6.06 which supported my wireless card, a Belkin
F5D5000 Wireless NIC (in Windows, it uses a RealTek driver - rtl8180.sys
- if that helps), right "out of the box", so to speak. I was able to use
my wireless as soon as I installed the 6.06 release.
However, when I fresh-reinstalled to 7.04, the wireless NIC didn't show
up in the list of NIC's. eth0 is there as my wired NIC (which is in the
comp but not in use) but there is no wlan0 or eth1 or anything. Further
tests showed that Kubuntu is seeing the device in the PCI devices
listing, but it just doesn't show up to Fiesty as a wireless NIC. I
searched for a driver that may be related to the NIC but can't seem to
locate one anywhere on the computer, so I've come to the conclusion that
they were accidentally left out.
an ifconfig shows the wired-ethernet card and a loopback connection, not
the wireless.
