Can any body tell me how to start my WiFi? It is not working with 11.04. I am new to Ubuntu. Please any body give me the code to compile and how it will work. I am really stuck with this problem.
My laptop model is Lenovo B570e. Please help me out.
I have a Lenovo v570 and I had the same problem. Perhaps what worked for me will work for you.
Try this: sudo rmmod -f acer-wmi
Once that's done your wifi should just kick on, if that is the cause of the problem. If that does work, you can make that permanent by creating a blacklist for it:
sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-custom.conf
Then use nano or vi/vim to open the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-custom.conf
and write this line to that file: blacklist acer-wmi
. That will keep that module from loading when you start your computer.
Again, this is what worked for me when I had that problem. I hope it helps.
12.04
is the current release,11.04
may not support your hardware properly. Also, please don't tag your question with unrelated topics.
