I have the exact same laptop. 8.04 works fine, but you'll have to use ndswrapper to get wireless working. I've upgraded to 8.10 a couple of days ago and I'm having some sound issues, eg when you plug...

Here it is:

I'm still a Linux newbie, I've no idea how to undo any updates. I don't understand why there's no option to set it to automatically boot the generic instead of the i386 version though. Right now I'm...

Noone, nothing? I know I'm not that only person who had this problem.

Yes, I did the same thing you did. When I go back to the same version of the kernel as you it works fine, but obviously its quite annoying as everytime you reboot it boots to the new one unless...

I never heard a clicking problem, but I was disconcerted to find that my laptop mode was off. Thanks.

After the package updater informed me I had updates, I installed them and restarted. Upon reboot I had no wireless or sound at all. Didn't realise the sound was broken until Saturday night I was...

I have a Fujitsu-Seimens Amilo 1818

Everything works, including all the FN keys. Wireless required ndiswrapper to get working, but thats it. Power saving and auto dimming works fine.

I have the exact same problem. No sound or wireless after the update last Thursday. If not for this cheap second laptop I fixed up with XP a few weeks ago I would have gone mental. After all, I can't...

I ended up installing the 32bit version, and now it works perfectly.

Moot point. Either way the card doesnt show.

Hi, I've got Ubuntu 8.04 64bit installed, and everything seems to work so for except for a few niggling issues I hope someone here can sort out.

First of all, I made the plunge due to this wiki...

*Wrong section I guess*

Surely I cant be the first to have this error? My card works perfectly under Vista but isnt even detected under Linux? Guess we're at a standstill. Thanks anyway.

As you can see lshw didnt work, but heres the lspci results:

root@Knoppix:~# lshw -c network
-su: lshw: command not found
root@Knoppix:~# lspci

Sorry, slip of the finger. It is indeed mini-pci.

Also, I've found a blank cd so I'm downloading the latest Knoppix version now. Should have a full report in a few minutes. What commands should I...

Well just to make sure, I opened the bottom, the wifi is a mini-usb and it is attatched correctly.

I have a Knoppix live cd and another distro on a bootable USB. I'll check both tonight and I'll reply with the answers tomorrow.

Right, its the mini-pci built into the laptop. (I assume its mini-pci. I havent actually opened it up to check.) Thanks for the help attempts by the way. :)

Here's my lspci output: Again, doesnt...

Of course, it worked perfectly.

Edit: Ah damn. Forget it. Looks like its because I installed the 32bit drivers on a 64bit distro. I really hop SIS has 64bit drivers. I have a feeling I'm about to be screwed on this though. :(
