[SOLVED] Wireless not working on Lenovo 3000 N100 (Ubuntu 8.04)

Hello,

I own a Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop running Ubuntu 8.04.


Wireless is just not working. I searched this forum and I found nothing that is similar to my problem.

If someone could help me, I will really appreciate it.

Well,i got my fix put this as root:
sudo echo "options iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945

to get the light on, install linux-backports-modules(i'm not sure)

There are different wireless cards available with the N100. Could you please be more specific about the type installed? If you have no info, try "lspci" or "lshw" in the terminal window. This gives you a bunch if information, but try to figure out, which card you have installed.

Thanks joker_23, this worked for me (I just run as root: "sudo echo "options iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945". I didn't installed the package, since my laptop most be very stable, and installing a backported package just for a light is not necessary).
