    WN311B wireless adapter

    I just tried tointall a wifi adapter on my computer running ubuntu 10.10. The adapter has an installation disk but its for windows only. I tried to just plug it in to see what would happen and nothing happened. Seeing as this is my first time installing a wifi adapter and I'm new to linux, I have no clue what I'm doing. Any help would be appreciated.

    Re: WN311B wireless adapter

    Just noticed the card is a pci card and not usb
    http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...e=Category:PCI
    could only find the wn311t but that one seems to work.

    Could you execute the following command:
    Code:
    sudo lspci -k
    To execute the command you can press alt + F2, type gnome-terminal and click run. Then copy one command and paste it in the terminal (black screen that showed up after you clicked run). Use the mouse to paste commands in the terminal.
    Then you can select all the text in the terminal, right click and select copy. When pasting it here please wrap it in code tags:
    Code:
    Your pasted stuff

    Re: WN311B wireless adapter

    Your card is not listed in there, I could only find your ethernet card:
    Realtek RTL8111/8168B

    If you have this thing:
    http://www.netgear.co.uk/rangemaxnex...ter_wn311b.php

    It doesn't show up as a pci device.

    Re: WN311B wireless adapter

    Are you sure it's plugged in correctly? The link I posted is your wireless pci device right?

    You can look through the list yourself but as far as I can see there is nothing that would indicate a wireless pci device.

    Re: WN311B wireless adapter

    After looking at it, it sort of seems like its upside down, but if i plugged it in the other way the panel thats supposed to be on the back would be facing into my case. Ill try that today and see what happens. I dont think it could be a messed up backwards card but you never know.
