Toshiba Laptop A135-S7406 - No Wireless

[d-alan]

Extreme newbee... be nice or just patient.

Had no sound, had no wireless out of the box.
Got sound through web search adding to file
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack

Works fine a little quite BUT it works.

THE REAL ISSUE, I can not seem to get wireless to work. The following are outputs from commands I have seen others request:

default@default:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.


default@default:~$ lsmod
Module Size Used by
........
ath_pci 97312 0
wlan 204868 1 ath_pci


default@default:~$ lspci

To give you an idea on what I do not know....I got lost trying to install madwifi when it said "make sure you are in the Madwifi directory." I do not know how to get there.

Any help or direction would be much appreciated. (I want this to work.)

Thanks in advance,

Hi d-alan,

Are you running Kubuntu 7.10? Usually this version will install your wireless driver automatically.

However, here is a good post from Ubuntu forum to guide you in setting up wireless connection:
