as you can probably guess from the title of this post, i’ve solved my wifi problems on Ubuntu.

the DeskNote CAN detect the WiFi USB dongle and after installing Easy Peasy, my Eee PC has wifi! in fact, i’m blogging with my Eee PC right now!

aaahhh… Ubuntu. this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Ubuntu wifi woes

just installed ubuntu on two of my machines. an old P4 DeskNote and my Eee PC.

so far so good. but one big gripe is that i can’t get wifi running on both of them.

the DeskNote is hooked up to ZDWLan USB dongle. while the Eee PC has built-in Atheros WiFi. i’ve run the Konsole and it detects the devices, it’s just that either there’s a problem with the drivers or something else.

for the Eee PC, i tried wicd but it’s still not detecting the wireless device. i’m currently downloading Easy Peasy, a flavour of Ubuntu that’s made for Eee PC.

if any of y’all have any ideas… hit up the comments.

Salaam.
