First thing would be to run "rfkill list". Often on Eee*, the wifi cards are blocked. A softblock should be something you can unlock using rfkill, but a hardblock is usually something you have to physically do to the machine to fix. It may mean flipping a switch somewhere or enabling wifi in the BIOS. On one bug report I've seen, someone had to press the wifi radio button *while they were in the BIOS* to get things to work in Ubuntu. I'm not sure why, but Eee* products seem to have larger amounts of rfkill issues, but this is just my anecdotal experience. (P.S. Feel free to seek me out on #ubuntu-kernel on freenode if you have any questions. My nick is cnd.) -- Chase _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-us-ohio Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-us-ohio More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
