I experienced a similar problem on a Toshiba laptop with a 3945 card. I returned the laptop and bought an A205 model with a 4965 that works much better. The 3945 would sometimes see the WAP and then took FOREVER to connect if at all.

Well the issue that I am facing is only with Ubuntu!
Its working very well with the Windows Vista!
No solution??

[nabeelfa]

No responds??

[Azmodanino]

well, i got the same card on an HP 530 and it's working with no problems, maybe you should download the firmwares manually?

[Nepherte]

There should certainly be a way to get that card to work. I have the same wireless card as you and it worked out of the box

[timcredible]

that card works out of the box on a dell latitude. have you accidently turned off the wireless by pressing Fn+<some button>?

[nabeelfa]

Nepherte: its a built-in hardware!! and still not working!!
timcredible: I am aware of turning on and off the wireless option, its on..
Guys I thing I know what is wrong here, its because its not known in the restricted hardware!!! before on the Fiesty distro it was within the restricted hardwares, how can I do it like this???
