[SOLVED] Wireless Working, Now Gone.....

(1/3) > >>

altman:
No problem mate .

I have some surprises on my side also . But sometimes I guess it s the provider s side that doesn t work properly . ( Internet on & off )

kjacobs:
Yep....I am completely baffled by why it worked and then stopped working. I was loading the 32 bit version, as the machine only has 2G of ram. For fun, I plugged in a USB Airlink 101 adapter I had laying around and the wifi screamed back to life. Works in both LL 2.0 and in LL 2.2, so I just reloaded a fresh install of LL 2.2 again onto the laptop and will use the Airlink for now.

Guess this will be one of those strange mysteries.....thanks for the help.

altman:
Gee , I don t understand anything now . Why is that has to make it on these laptops !

Is that a 32 or a 64 bit computer .

Looks like the hardware isn t supported .

kjacobs:
OK....just tried a live boot to USB again on LL 2.2. The linux-firmware & linux-firmware -nonfree are already installed with a fresh boot of LL 2.2 off a thumb drive, so that eliminates that possibility.....

Update: Oh goody....after booting to the live USB for LL 2.2, I rebooted to the installed LL 2.0 and now my wireless is not working in LL 2.0 either.....arrrrgggggg! This should not be this finicky......wow!

kjacobs:
The computer is a Dell Inspiron B130. I will have to go back and check to see linux-firmware & linux-firmware -nonfree are installed or not. I will do a live boot of LL 2.2 again and check when I get home.
