First of all we need to find out what the wireless chipset is as you will need firmware drivers for the wireless adapter. Go to Applications-Accessories-Terminal and enter the following
Please copy the outputs for each command in turn by highlighting the output with the mouse, then press Ctrl-Shift-C (to copy) and Ctrl-V to paste here in a new post.Code:lspci ifconfig

PS I am on a Thinkpad (T61) with a :
ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini Express Adapter
This is a WiFi Adapter that is installed in a Mini-PCI Express slot
Features
* Chipset: Atheros AR5006EX (As printed on card AR5BXB6) or AR5212
* Integrated Mac Processor and Radio Chip: Atheros 5423
* IEEE Standards: 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g
* PCI ID: 168c:1014
...I believe.
Can you try this command as it doesn't look as Ubuntu even sees a wireless adapter
You need firmware drivers to be installed as the wireless is in standby mode.Code:lshw -C network
If it is you may like to look at this post. Please note that Atheros wireless is not the most Ubuntu friendly adapter and it's possible that you may get more problems. Good luck.

I'm begining to think it isn't.
I've had numerous problems with getting Ubuntu to work with my wireless driver, I've done trouble shooting, followed loads of advise and even asked a professional to help.
So seriously, does Ubuntu even support wireless internet?
Got any ideas that i might not have tried?
It could be the simpelist thing cos I'm a total noob at Linux.
More info on my problems here
Yes... see my reply here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...81#post6036081
The short is- I've been using Ubuntu 8.04 for 5 days on an old Dell C610 laptop with new harddrive - I plugged a Belkin F5D7050 wireless usb stick in.. and once I'd figured out how to find the wireless networks tab etc and entered by wifi password in, it 'just worked'....
- I've no idea how, it just did- bear in mind I have not installed any drivers etc-
...maybe because mine's a new install or something?
