Hello there fellow ubuntians!
I have this problem with my wlan on Acer Travelmate 2304 wlmi.
I'm trying to get it to work and I've tried so many solutions that I'm getting confused where the problem might be.
It seems that every solution thread that i try opens up a new problem.
I don't know where to start... I've been using different Linux distributions for a while but I'm no pro thats for sure.
Just copy pasting codes from threads and solving every problem that i face. But not this one...
I installed ndiswrapper and the right windows driver for the wlan and then been trying to use wifi-radar to connect wireless networks.
The radar sees networks but doesn't connect to them. It just keeps "Acquiring IP Address" but doesn't get any further.
No time out, nothing... When I start the wifi-radar on console it gives many errors when I press the connect button and the acquiring thing starts to loop forever:
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
/bin/sh: /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant: not found
2011-01-19 21:35:20,990: connect_to_network: DHCP client not found, please set this in the preferences.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/wifi-radar", line 1525, in connect_profile
self.connection.connect_to_network(profile, self.status_window)
File "/usr/sbin/wifi-radar", line 472, in connect_to_network
waiting = dhcp_proc.poll()
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'dhcp_proc' referenced before assignment
And if this helps, the "ndiswrapper -l" gives:
neti2220 : driver installed
device (17FE:2220) present
And the "sudo lshw -C network" gives:

At one point I managed to get that DISABLED out from that "*-network:1" line there but still it didn't have any effect. Seems that it has gone disabled again somehow.:)
So, any kind of help would be appreciated. And sorry for my noobish questions but hey, it's my first post so go easy on me... :D
Let me know if there's any commands to use to give more output for the problem.
Thanks in advance!
