My Wireless driver is deactivated and I had it before. I know that it's there, it just won't show. Ubuntu in it's full-gloried-smartness wants to download the wireless driver. (FYI, my LAN port is broken, snapped pins. )
The driver should be there from before. Any clue how to re-enable it from the local copy of the driver? I shouldn't need to re-download it.
- Ubuntu saw the card and used the right driver.
- I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10.
- Ubuntu saw the card and did not use the driver.
ifconfig doesn't show wireless card. It's a Broadcom chipset. "Broadcom STA Wireless driver"
dmesg
say about the device?dmesg
is a program that outputs kernel messages. just rundmesg
(or more usefully,dmesg | less
ordmesg | tail
ordmesg | grep something
)
