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:
brian@thefergies:~$ sudo cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.
# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.
mapping hotplug
script grep
map eth0
# The primary network interface
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid easynote
wireless-channel 11
wireless-mode managed
wireless-rate 11
wireless-txpower 20
auto wlan0
Also:
brian@thefergies:~$ sudo ifconfig

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