Re: WiFi nightmare, KDE doesnt even see it

try

lspci -v |grep less
or just
lspci -v (but it will take more searching on your part

in the terminal. Also, check to see if you have a supported card: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...CardsSupported

Natman, have you got anywhere with your connection? I've got the same problem and it's also driving me crazy!

Re: WiFi nightmare, KDE doesnt even see it

Hey, i have been looking around and the last post gave a clue, i eventually got to a list of supported cards/usb adpadtors

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/m...dex.php/List#C

Its at C because i have a"cable and wireless" usb thing. According to that post the device only needs the proper driver, and then its all fine. I am currently getting ndiswrapper and wine ( but the involves moving a desktop from attic to ground -slow and hard).
So pm me or vice versa if either one of us makes any headway.
Thanks for the interest.
