Hi all
Im in need of some advice, iv just installed the latest version of ubuntu on a hp nc6000 and all is working great apart from my wifi, I dont trust the internal card much as although it was recognized it doesn't see the networks (i saw networks 3 times in 6 hours of trying) i managed to find a tutorial on getting it working with ndiswrapper but that didnt seem to do anything, i also tried the madwifi drivers and this was when the wifi would light up but in 6 hours i only saw networks maybe 3 times. Anyway iv given up on the internal wifi (i questioned its functionalism before with windows) and iv switched to a PCMCIA Dlink DWL-G650 this seems to work fine, i see the networks and i can connect up to my router however i cant get online, its like theres no internet on the router, which has been proved otherwise by connecting another device up and accessing the internet. From what i have read these cards should work out the box so im lost as to why i cant access the internet with it. Any advice or tips on what to do would be greatly appreciated.
