5 Cups of Ubuntu
Hi;
Here is a THREAD I've been working in that was actually about before I installed Ubuntu.
but, I did install it, dual boot (xp wifi works fine), but for some reason, my Netbook wifi drivers are apparently not in Ubuntu.
Can anyone help here?
I think I just need to get drivers so the OS recognizes the wifi card.
The thread might explain it a little better as far as any troubleshooting I've done.
Thanks!

Well the easiest way in my opinion would be to use Ndiswrapper but you could follow this first. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...Driver/Atheros
If you wish to use Ndiswrapper to do it.
1. Install Ndiswrapper (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...er/Ndiswrapper)
2. Download .inf file for your driver, this site has it.

3. Open Ndiswrapper and install the driver.

WOW...Ok, I see my drivers there, I didn't know where I could find them.
Thanks!
-I'm not sure if my system is 64 or 32 bit? On system monitor in Ubuntu, it doesn't say.
-I'm assuming I need to download one or all of these below and put those and the drivers on a thumb drive then xfer those to the netbook? My OS says Release 9.04 (jaunty) *whatever jaunty is>
Is this the right method?
and the Ndiswrapper will graphically step me thru the rest of the driver install?

Yeah Ndiswrapper is very easy. You just choose the .inf file and then you are done. To check if you system is x86 (32 bit) or x64 (64 bit), open terminalOriginally Posted by netbookntn

Wow, I answered this a bit backwards. No problem by the way. Lastly, yes you will need to put them on your netbook. Or connect an ethernet cable to the netbook for the time being.Code:uname -a

This means you need to download the x86 (32-bit) driver since you have a x86 system installed. i686 will mean that it is 32-bit. If it was x64 then it would have said x86-64 instead of i686. Now you can go ahead and install the driver2.6.28 -11 generic #42 Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 time i686 GNU/Linux

Ok..so..
amd64 i386Which one of those do I dnld then for the other files, the util and ndisgtk?
it's not an amd processor, it's an atom, but it's not the 386...it's 686.
I feel so stupid...
Believe this or not, I actually have built systems ground up! (a few years ago now)
But, I'm so new to Ubuntu..this is helping me learn tho.
THANKS....

It is not a problem and don't feel stupid. Since you have a 32-bit system, you will always install things that say x86, i386, i686, and 32-bit. If you had x64 then you would install anything that said AMD64, x64, or 64-bit etc.Ok..so..

OK..I give.
I put them on the drive,
installed to the netbook, it said successful.
errrr...
NOW WHAT? I don't see "programs" to look thru.
I've dug around, but I don't see anything that resembles what I installed.

Try going to Administration > System > Ndiswrapper.
