I have a Cisco AE2500 I've used with my laptop to get internet. I had to install the drivers by following this forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1805830 But now the blue light on the adapter doesn't turn on at all, but ndiswrapper reports it is connected. I have no connection to the internet on my laptop, and the adapter doesn't show it's blue light on any of the USB ports of my computer or on the 4 port hub I have. Is there some way I can reset something so that the blue light will show again? I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 on a Dell Latitude D505 laptop. EDIT: I deleted and reinstalled the same exact driver and everything worked again.

What is the output of ifconfig -a? – Githlar Feb 20 '12 at 16:32
Also, from what I read in that post, it does not work with 64-bit systems. Are you using a 64-bit system? – Githlar Feb 20 '12 at 16:50
If the wireless adapter is not working in any port it may have stopped working altogether (died). Check it in another computer if possible. – user91788 Sep 21 '12 at 3:33
