Public bug reported: I have installed Ubuntu 8.04.1 (32 bits) on a Lenovo/IBM ThinkPad T60, after setting up the wireless network from the restricted manager the network was not working.
$ apt-cache policy linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic: Installed: 2.6.24.13-19.44 The restricted drivers managed did report that the Atheros non free drivers where configured and used. The network manager did not report any error, the /etc/resolv.conf was properly set (which indicates he did communicate with the wireless router) but the ath0 interface had no IP address. After reading http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_6.10_(Edgy_Eft)_on_a_ThinkPad_T60 I have found the following suggestion. # iwpriv ath0 mode 2 I have executed it, then executed the network restart and I was now able to get an IP address and have regular network connectivity. ** Affects: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- wifi card on Lenovo T60 will does not work out of the box https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251263 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
