I have a CISCO 802.11b WIFI Mini PCI LAN card in my IBM ThinkPad T30 laptop.

Is this wireless card compatible with Lubuntu?

I ran it off a Live CD and it showed the network I want to connect to – but it just won't connect. I tried installing Lubuntu and during installation it also tried to connect to the same network and still nothing.

I know that the wireless network is working correctly because I can connect to it with all my other devices and it works on this very same laptop when I am running Windows.

It should, just you have to blacklist some modules:

ADD:

blacklist padlock_aes
blacklist geode_aes

to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file.

Steps to edit:

  1. Open a Terminal.
  2. Type: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. Enter your password.
  3. Add the lines above to the end of the file.
  4. Save and quit.
  5. REBOOT!

How do I edit this file? I googled it and I see some people were having trouble. Can I open it through the command module and simply type those commands it? – mike Jun 8 '12 at 13:55
