Hi,

I recently installed kubuntu breezy, and my rt2500 wireless card does not work. I am on an Averatec 3700 laptop with an AMD Sempron 3000+ chip. When I was running Hoary, it did not detect the wireless card, but I got it working as wlan0 no sweat with ndiswrapper. In Breezy, the card is detected by default as ra0, but it doesn't detect any networks. It also doesn't work when I load ndiswrapper. Also, when I flip the wireless switch on the outside of my laptop to 'on,' the wireless indicator light is very faint, and in Windoze or Hoary it is at full brightness. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi

Try this!

and in the hardware configuration installation screen chose the right driver. it should give a choice list.

Good luck!

The card is identified correctly as a rt2500, and a driver is installed, but it does not work correctly. I tried to unload the kernel module and then tried ndiswrapper, but that didn't work either. It keeps telling me that rt2500.inf is an invalid driver, though the same file worked with the same hardware under hoary. Here's my iwconfig output, by the way.

In Hoary, the wireless card was listed as wlan0.
