I just updated my girlfriends laptop to the latest xubuntu distribution through the software update program.
The laptop has a Belkin F5D 6020 pcmcia card which uses the Realtek r818x module (found in the rtl818x kernel modules directory). The update installed the 2.6.20-16-generic kernel. The needed r818x and ieee81211_rtl drivers will load (using command "modprobe r818x")--noted by the fact that ifconfig and iwconfig will find and display the correct network/interface information, but the power light on the card does not come on. The card does show up when using the "lspci" and "cardctl ident" commands. I have found this problem also exists in the 2.6.17-11-generic kernel package (from an earlier update), but the drivers will work in the 2.6.17-10-generic kernel package--which is my solution to the problem. -- Roan -- Belkin wireless PCMCIA card no longer works in Feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116029 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
