Hey everyone, thanks a lot for the advice! I ended up getting a Netgear
WPN311 Wireless G PCI card. Now I'm just trying to get the darn thing
working. Right now, I'm actually using the desktop install of Ubuntu 6.10,
Edgy Eft. I've followed the advice here:
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu.html
to the letter. No dice. I don't see the small graphic of blue bars that
the author has pictured. What I find really strange is that my card just
doesn't seem to be finding any wireless networks at all. I click the icon
that looks like two little black monitors, and I have a "Wired Network"
option, but then under the "Wireless Networks" there is just nothing. Like
my card isn't picking up anything. (I know there are a few wireless
networks in my area that it should see)
In Device Manager the card is identified as a "AR5212 802.11abg NIC" and it
has two entries underneath it, a "WLAN Interface" and an "Unknown Device".
I figure whatever I've messed up, I've done such a fantastic job of it that
I'll just have to figure out for myself, but does anything jump out at
anyone right away?
Step 1 is: Run "iwconfig" as root and post the output here.
Further steps depend on the outcome of step 1.
Here's the output of "sudo iwconfig".
