I'm experimenting with various distros, including Ubuntu, but they just don't recognize the router, although now I've gotten them to see the card in my PC.</p> Thu, 13 Jul 2006 13:27:41 +0000 rtroxel comment 1204029 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/computer-help/knoppix-cant-reach-wireless-network#comment-1204020 <p>I had a similar problem on my laptop when first installing SuSE (I now use Ubuntu - much more friendly distro <img src="https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/smile.png" title="Smiling" alt="Smiling" class="smiley-content" /> ). As it turns out - and this is sad - I hadn't pressed the wireless power button <img src="https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/eyeroll.png" title="Roll eyes" alt="Roll eyes" class="smiley-content" /></p> <p>It was something like function-3, once I'd done that everything sprang into life and started working. There's also a bunch of command-line tools for messing with wireless: <a href="http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/iwconfig8.html" class="bb-url">http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/iwconfig8.html</a></p> <p>You can also switch the wireless power on/off with the command: iwconfig eth0 txpower on (where eth0 is the name of your wireless ethernet adapter).</p> <p>Sorry this is so long after your post, I assumed someone else would have a better reply than I do!</p> Thu, 13 Jul 2006 12:09:42 +0000 JeevesBond comment 1204020 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
