Hi
I am trying to get my wifes computer set up on a wireless network,
Ubuntu Edgy.
I have a Dynalink / Netcom NP452 network card 88w8835 (libertas) chipset.
I have set up the drivers with ndiswrapper.
All seems OK except access point not associated, as below
noi(a)noi-desktop:~$ sudo iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11FH ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.442 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:1 Mb/s Sensitivity=-200 dBm
RTS thr:2346 B Fragment thr:2346 B
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Yes no signal shows up from the router (Dynalink RTA1025W) -- Linux
based apparently :-)
but doing a scan picks up two networks.
Mine is the first one.
noi(a)noi-desktop:~$ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

I have updated the router firmware, I am not sure what to do next.
Rather new to networking, particularly wireless.
Any suggestions appreciated
