Hello all: I'm new to Ubuntu, but having a ball. I have an HP omibook xe4100 that
dual-boots xp and ubuntu. I use a Belkin FD6020 pcmcia card to connect to my wireless
router. It's ok in xp, but in ubuntu I can't get it to work. The little light tries
to come on but never really does - just tiny blinks during boot-up or configuration
with System<Administration<Networking. I've got ndiswrapper installed and the
Belkin6020.inf file installs ok. Here's some info:
I have a Belkin F5D6020 ver.2 PCMCIA card and *it works fine* with
built in atmel modules. I upgraded from Hoary to Breezy. Are you running
Breezy or Hoary?? Also when you installed ubuntu did you have your card
plugged in.

So nothings travelling through wlan0.
Any ideas please on what I can do next?
thanks in advance

Try 'ifup' and 'ifdown' commands. Also, you might want to try 'iwlist
wlan0 scanning' to see if your wireless card can find any access points.
This is what I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ iwlist eth1 scanning
eth1 Scan completed :
Cell 01 - Address: 00:90:4B:7C:C7:00
ESSID:"Routex"
Mode:Managed
Channel:10
Encryption key:off
What is the output of 'iwconfig' commands?
Since this a generic question regarding ubuntu, you might try posting it
in the ubuntu-users list. ubuntu-uk and all the regional lists are
mainly for discussing regional stuff such as LUG meetings, localisation
efforts and the likes.
