The 7.10 has the working wifi!
How do I set up this in my 8.04?
You will need to install linux-backports-modules-hardy-generic. If you have a wired connection, you can just do:
Code:
sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-hardy-generic
or you can go into Synaptic and install it from there. If you don't have a connection, you will need to get the following packages from packages.ubuntu.com(http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/lin...4-16-generic):
Code:
linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-16-generic
Download the amd64 version if you are using 64-bit and i386 if you are using 32-bit. Assuming that you downloaded the file to the desktop you can do the following in the Terminal:
64-bit:
Code:
cd /home/user/Desktop
sudo dpkg -i linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-16-generic_2.6.24-16.14_amd64.deb
32-bit:
Code:
cd /home/user/Desktop
sudo dpkg -i linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-16-generic_2.6.24-16.14_i386.deb
Make sure that you replace user in /home/user/Desktop with your username.
Hope that helps and works for you.
