Hey all,
I am using Ubuntu 9.10, a Netgear PCMCIA Wireless WG511T on an IBM T23 (not T30 as in thread title, sorry) laptop.
So I've been reading many threads about Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter not working. I have one of these and the adaptor is detected but my problem is slightly different: the adaptor is detected and appears to be working fine, the only snag is that that my wireless router is not detected. Other wireless networks in my vicinity are detected but not my own. Also I have successfully connected to a colleagues 3G wireless dongle nearby and got a working internet connection.
Also when I perform a scan with "iwlist wlan0 scanning" it does not list my wireless router.
As an aside, I also have a HTC G1 which has problems with this wireless router. It appears to get an IP address and connect successfully but when browing web pages it cannot connect. Some of my colleagues have Apple Macs and iPhones which have no problems connecting.
Help!
Some information:
The wireless router is:
Firmware Version
4.05.04
Boot Version
1.03.08
Hardware
Belkin F5D7130I have highlighted some lines in dmesg output below that might relevant. They refer to setting the card to a USA power profile? I'm in the UK.
