I installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my Dell mini9 last night after 3 weeks of
trying (without success) to get wired or wireless internet access
under the Dell version of 8.04 that ships on the mini. Plugged in the
ethernet cable and "bam" I was connected to the internet. I tried to
establish a wireless connection and could not. I have one of the
cheesy router/modem combos mentioned above...Westell 327w from
Verizon, using Verizon DSL.
I reconnected the ethernet cable and downloaded a LOT of updates,
installed, rebooted and cannot get a wired connection. I configured
the PPPoE settings so they're the same as my WinXP desktop...no joy.
I'm beginning to suspect the lousy router/modem is the source of all
(well, OK, most) evil.
Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions...Verizon DSL, Dell mini9,
Ubuntu 8.10, no wired or wireless connection.
Thanks!
