Ubuntu help again ! :D

by ILikeTurtles • 2 Dec 2008, 16:22 • Journals
After putting 2 hours afford into reading through any possible forum, I managed it to get my WLAN stick detected and finally connected to the Router.

At least I though it...

Now I cant ping the router nor access any site from the internet.

When I do Iwconfig the following stuff, which looks pretty well at the first place, appears:

Quote
**********@ubuntu:~$ iwconfig

to fix this problem simply











































install windows.

ILikeTurtles 2 Dec 2008, 16:31
Iam writing from windows, but for playing without PB Linux is the only way to go : )

rAzbo 2 Dec 2008, 16:34
Seriously there is no problems with PB running on windows.

Also if you cant do a simple thing like get wlan stick to work you will have 10x more trouble installing ET.

Then you will struggle even more when you try to put your config on D:

Except when you run a side-by-side comparison of a fresh install of ET and one with up-to-date PB and realise just how much performance you are losing because of Punkbuster :)

It's pretty bad even on my quad core, the problem is much worse on single core systems

Been working on it, plan on publishing a column with some real stats.

Need to either find a drive for my single core system or get someone to run a few benchmarks for me :\

what kind of quad core do you have?
If I run et on my dualcore in windows, i can see some stuff like that in the taskmanager, and also the game is a little bit sluggisher compared to linux, but definately not that bad o.O

What is the output of ifconfig wlan0 ?
And how did you connect? Did you do it by iwconfig wlan0 essid ****, or by the graphical stuff?

You could try writing
dhclient wlan0
and see if it helps

Oh, and did you use ndiswrapper or did you manage without?

ILikeTurtles 2 Dec 2008, 16:36
I installed wicd, since the normal networkmanager didnt work properly.
Ill do the ifconfig asap brb

Into xp click Start>Run and type "devmgmt.msc" (without quotes). Find ur realtek network card> right click on it>select properties> under the advanced settings tab look for the Wake-On-Lan setting or similar and see if its disabled. If this is the case, then enable it. boot to ubuntu, does ur network work now?
