Chances are the card is already pre-configured and you just need to add the WEP key and do a network wakeup
Can you run "iwconfig" and post the output here?

im not running the live cd. im running the install. but it seems it needs the cd to contiune to boot up like its the live cd. but its teh cd's from that came from holland(the free ones). :4-dontknoAeuzent said:Not sure how to do it from the live cd. Any chance you could download the install cd?

its not a dual boot system........ive got two seperate hard drives that i connect as i please.Aeuzent said:It sounds like you didn't install Grub on the master boot record. To do a dual boot with linux you really need either Grub or Lilo as your boot loader.
And iwconfig is run in the terminal as root.
That seems kinds of ... strange. But either way you need Grub or Lilo. If the linux drive is on cable select or master then once you boot it should head straight into Grub then Ubuntu.JeremyC said:its not a dual boot system........ive got two seperate hard drives that i connect as i please.

JeremyC said:my copy of ubuntu is on its own HDD thats not connected to anything else beside teh Mobo. Dosent ither grub/lilo come with ubuntu?
i dont see why it would. maybe i should just reinstall ubuntu?Aeuzent said:Maybe you have a problem with the way your system sees the HD.
as there being no pins its set to master. and the cable is only a Mobo-> master type cable.Aeuzent said:I'd double check the way your HD connects. Is it set as a slave, master or cable select?
