Hey guys, i recently installed Xubuntu 8.04 on my pc. And have been having issues getting my Belking wireless adaptor to work.
I followed an online guide and it now appears that my wireless adaptor is being recognised. However i am unable to "find" and connect to my netowrk... im guessing i have to configure it somehow only im stuck on that.
Thanks,
Chris

Knowledge is power -- But experience is everything
can u see available wireless networks?
if u can please gather all the info u can and post it here
DO NOT post key or user if there is one
just network type encryption and so on

Thanks,
You managed to resurrect my 5 month old thread.
By the way, I managed to work out that it was the broadcom chip set, which is unsupported by Ubuntu Distro's, and requires ndiswrappers to be installed, once this has been done it fine to connect to wireless networks.
PS. Don't bring old threads up thanks,
Chris
