Configure WiFi in Ubuntu
I have been using Ubuntu for over half a year. It seems that everything in it suits me, but sometimes life is overshadowed by little things like incomplete support for iron, most often wifa. In this habratopic, I want to share the experience of setting up a wifa on my hardware, in order to try to save novice users from many hours of googling and experienced Linux users from their questions. I do this at the request of the smartov habrauser . If you can help compile the most comprehensive reference on the topic, I will be glad to add to the article and your experience.
WiFi card with the appropriate software under Win - Intel PROSet / Wireless .
On the example of the MSI L745 laptop, everything worked without my intervention. Click on the NetworkManager icon - we get a list of all networks in the area.

Raised wifi on the example of ASUS Pro 52RL notebook. There is no information on it anywhere, even on the site of the asus. Google gives him only 4 links in Russian. It is sold only in mediamarkt. Well, okay, more to the point.

It stands on the Atheros AR5006EG wireless card. Ubunt finds and includes by default a proprietary driver that does not work. It is necessary to disable it. To do this, add the line to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-common file (if not, then to the blacklist file):
Reboot:
In addition, we need a driver for Windows. For this card you can take it here . Yes, another program that will make it work, and then you can immediately install the driver.
A new wlan0 interface should appear in the iwconfig list. Then everything is as in the case of Intel PRO.
This beast was defeated by a chumric habrauzer on the HP Pavilion TX1350ER laptop (nothing like a toy :). According to him, the process is described in detail in the Ubuntu documentation .
Kubuntu 7.10
Habrayuzer Zeboton had acquaintance with this adapter on the desktop. He, like me, solved the problem with ndiswrapper. His article describing the problem. Solution on the Ubuntu forum.
PS: Please do not kick your feet, and leave the best offers and examples on the other hardware in the comments.
