I have a new Lenovo T500, with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS installed.

The wireless card isn't working - sometimes it detects the wireless networks, but most of the times it can't. I have tried using the network icon, but it still can't find any network.

lspci yielded this:

03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Unknown device 4237

Googling it didn't help much. Any Ideas?

EDIT: I'm having trouble installing the Intel Linux Wireless from the wlwifi project. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks,

Udi

  • BTW any idea what the model of your network card is?

  • Intel AGN 5100.

Install different drivers, that support it better.

Perhaps look at Intel Linux Wireless for the drivers you need


Or try a different network connection manager like Wicd

Wicd is an open source wired and wireless network manager for Linux which aims to provide a simple interface to connect to networks with a wide variety of settings.

  • I'll try the second option - the lspci insinuates it is a driver, not connection manager, problem. Thanks!

  • I switched it around if that's the most likely correct answer
