WiFi not working at first installation (European version) #8

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. When You first install Ubuntu (I suspect also other distros)

2. This applies in EU version with the Intel 6200 card, don't know about US
ones (with atheros)

Solution is quite simple, You just have to get a newer kernel 2.6.32

I solved this problem by manually installing the compat-wireless drivers...

I confirm that installing the package 
linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic
solves the wifi problem.

Kernel 2.6.31-20-generic

Using 2.6.33 kernel here, I'll just note that the iwlwifi firmware is needed; in
Debian, package firmware-iwlwifi. Nothing really unusual, and the kernel does 
advise
of this when the driver loads.

I installed openSUSE 11.2 (kernel 2.6.31) on VAIO VPCF11C5E 
WiFi doesn't work at all ... I tried to install compat-wireless drivers .. 
However,
after that I still could't connect to wireless networks.

The network manager icon appers nicely, it also gives me the possibility to 
connect
to a wireless network. However, as soon as I enter a SSID and a WPA key, and 
press
connect, it does not do anything.

Could somebody post a step-by-step guide on how to fix the wifi ?
Apgrading the kernel might be an option but I would prefer without it.

Thanks
Vlad
