Re: [orca-list] Wireless setup assistance with orca



Hi,

My knowledge is from Ubuntu Gutsy. When you arrive in the network-admin dialog box, there is a list of ethernet adapters, including your network interface card that uses a cable, your wireless card, and a dialup connection. In this list, there is a check box in front of each of these items. to enable the wireless card, you need to check the check box in front of the wireless adapter in the list.

Hope this helps,

dave

HI all.

Does anyone know how to enable the built in wireless network card on a dell
inspiron 6400?
I've done function f2 to enable the card so is there anything else I need to
do in ubuntu to enable the card itself?

Hi,

You were in the correct place when you used "sudo network-admin".  The
first step, though, is to enable the wireless card.  Once that is done,
you can configure the settings.

Sorry, can't give you much more at the moment since I don't have my laptop
with me.

Hope this helps,

dave

Hi all.

Yesterday I wrote to the list asking how to use a gui tool
and orca how to configure wireless on my laptopl and the
only response was to ask if my wireless card is setup in
linux.
Actually the response wasn't to me it was to someone else.
So without sounding harsh can anyone offer any assistance on
how to configure wireless in ubuntu using orca or don't many
people on the list use wireless?
I've gone in to a terminal and typed in
sudo net-admin
or whatever the network admin tool is called and couldn't
find anything in the tool for configuring wireless.
All I want to do is to setup my wireless profile to connect
to my wireless access point.
If this list is not where this question should be posted,
could someone tell me where I should post this question or
somewhere I should start looking?
Google didn't find much info that I could get any use out
of.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks all.
