That's a new thing to me. From my experience, 'eth' stands for 'ethernet' but well, we learn new things everyday.

Also, which Manager do you use ? I don't know about 'Network-Manager' (the...

Ok, as I can see, your wireless adapter is being detected successfully by the kernel but there's something that bothers me. By default, a wireless adapter is activated...

It would be great if you can post the 'lsmod' output, as well as the 'lspci' output to see your modules & devices.

Also, do a 'ifconfig -a' to see if your device is being loaded by the kernel.

Nice to hear it my friend. It would be great if you can post the actions taken after installing the linux-backports-modules-karmic package. It could be helpful for other users as well.

Hopefully,...

Did you already tried intstalling the linux-backports-modules-karmic from the repos? I fixed my ath9k issues with them.

Just go to synaptics and search for the package. Give...

moore.bryan: Did you already try the new Madwifi drivers ??? In my case those didn't help maybe because of some kind of incompatibility but you might as well have good luck with them. What's the...

[IMPORTANT UPDATE]
Well people, I'm very exited because I think I finally [SOLVE] my wireless problem under Ubuntu.

After doing several things, from changing the encryption scheme of both of my...

Unfortunately, this is not my case. My problem is very different. I can do everything that has to do with the internet but suddenly gets disconnected.

I was playing all day with madwifi with no...

That was what I deduced with one of my AP's, which is a 2Wire. That's very strange but still, this is getting me nuts. I'm playing with madwifi with no satisfactory results. I'm gonna go back to...

I know what you mean 'dca'. In a matter of fact, I'm trying to make madwifi works with no success. I've already blacklisted any reference to ath*k and put to load ath_pci in /etc/modules but...

Well ... considering all the problems I had with this ath*k drivers, I'm now trying to install Madwifi drivers on Karmic. Unfortunately I can't get them to work well. I've already blacklisted ath*k...

The results are not satisfactory. I was using my cable modem AP just fine, nice speed, the signal strength was variable, 10 meters away. The connection was alive for like 40 minutes and then suddenly...

Well, I just changed my second AP from WPA2-PSK to WPA-PSK, I'm using win7 right now as I type, and curiously, just after I changed it to WPA, the speed went notably up (I don't really know why....

Good for you my friend. Maybe you didn't have any problem related to Linux or your adapter, instead you had a problem related with interference.

Anyway, it's very helpful from your part posting...

Did Madwifi actually work for you ? Post your results so people can find solutions to the same problem.

Thanks,

I don't think that the case of 'moore.bryan' or 'lokutus25' and (unfortunately) me.

The situation in my case is like this:

- I was using Ubuntu 8.10 x64 some months ago, and everything was just...

OMG, you're my life saver. I was thinking that maybe I was gonna live with the problem forever. It's a really pain in the *** for lefties like me having to use a touchpad with the right hand.
...

Well, I have some results.

Results for signal going crazy: When I'm very near of any of the AP's (no more than 5 mts) the signal is stable (75%-85%) but when I move away more than 10 mts the...

Well, I followed gumshore's suggestion. I changed one of my AP to WPA and the other one to WPA2. The signal is still week, I haven't got disconnected yet, but I have to use it for a while to tell you...

Ok now the network manager is a little creepy. All the wireless networks I detect in the area seems to be less strong in Ubuntu and stronger in Windows 7 (I'm not making any comparison, I'm just...

OK, so you're pretty sure that changing from WEP to WPA is gonna fix this issue ? how many days have you been working with ubuntu without any connection problem ?

I really want to know because my...

This seems to be a common problem with this release and you are not the only one with the problem. I have that particular problem too.

I'm using an Acer Aspire 5536 and I can't set the touchpad...
