I haven't had much time recently, but I've still managed to do some more testing on the hardy live cd (64bit only, so far). Gutsy drivers didn't help, but then again I haven't tried wep. I need wpa because there's too many other APs around here.
What it did work is wpa using... feisty ndiswrapper. I did the test twice in different days, but I haven't had enough time to check for how long the connection would stay alive. However force installing the two feisty packages on my HD didn't produce the success I'd hoped for. To see how it really works I'll have to try again on a clean install . I've used ndiswrapper-common_1.38-1ubuntu1_all.deb and ndiswrapper- utils-1.9_1.38-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb. I'm afraid soon I'll be giving up and use my usb dongle that works nicely and even better than ndiswrapper was in gutsy as it always keep itself alive. But there are two good reasons for wanting my internal card to be connected: firstly to have one more free usb plug and secondly not to risk forgetting the usb dongle home when I'm away. I've attached a resume of my tests. Fell free to comment and add. ** Attachment added: "ndiswrapper_test.html" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14155912/ndiswrapper_test.html -- [Hardy] ndiswrapper does not function with 2.6.24 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194714 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
