hello all,
i have a toshiba tecra m3 that i have recently built into a multi boot system that originally had xp on and now it has a dual boot grub to boot to ubuntu if required, basically my end game is to have a triple boot system to allow me to run solaris too. but thats the next stage.
at present i cant get the wifi working on the m3 even though i have the wifi switched on and enabled i have entered the ssid and wep key but no avail any ideas?
i will continue to look into it, if there is any known issues with it please let me know
thanks

Does the wireless have to be enabled during install for it to be seen? Just trying to rule out the obvious before I have to get down to command line. I have been used to the older releases and this one has thrown me. Any suggestions would be great, it's gotta be something simple I'm missing
thanks all

eth0 is now operational, hence posting this, but eth1 (the ipw2200) wireless stack is still on the blink. i have done a lsmod and it is listed:

Issue now resolved, installed lucid lynx on the m3 and all modules running a'ok. It seems Lts versions are more compatible with the tecra series than the interim releases, setup for triple boot xp/lucid /solaris 10
I now have a fleet of 3 ubuntu machines:
tecra 550cdt - dapper 6.06
tecra 8000 - hardy 8.04
tecra m3 - lucid 10.04
tech ain't dead yet!!!
