Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 10.04.03 LTS was installed recently using Wubi in WinXP home
edition. I used a full partition (26GB) for Ubuntu. Wireless works well
in WinXP on same laptop. So hardware has no problem. But no wireless
network can be found in Ubuntu by network-manager or Wicd. Manually
inputing wireless ESSID and password in network-manager didn't help. I
have tried all commands related to wireless network I can find. The
output are as below. It seems wireless card was disabled. But I couldn't
find way to enable it.
I may have disabled (reenabled later) wireless card in WinXP when
installing Ubuntu. So I reinstalled Ubuntu using Wubi to check if it's
the problem. But this time I kept wireless enable. The problem is still
same in new Ubuntu. So disabling and reenabling in WinXP was not the
problem. It becomes more like a bug.
I have not find hardware switch on laptop and never use it. It should
not be problem since WinXP works well.
Commands outputs:
$ rfkill list
(no output)
$ sudo lshw -C network
