My house has two routers bridged together. WhiteBox (master) has WEP encryption, and BlackBox (slave) has WPA encryption.
I recently wiped and installed Ubuntu Server on my old Dell Inspiron 1300, and proceeded through installation via an ethernet connection.
In an attempt to get my built-in wireless to work, I have retrieved the firmware-b43-installer
package, although I am unsure if there is some kind of shell script I have to run. wlan0
has been enabled via ifconfig
, and I am able to scan for both WhiteBox and BlackBox via wlist
.
I've read around many forums trying to figure out what needs to be done, and I think that overall it is a driver problem. I have tried connecting to WhtieBox via iwconfig
and BlackBox via wpa-supplicant
, but have hit many bumps in the road. wpa-supplicant
lists the available drivers as n180211, wext, wired, none
.
I am a Linux novice. I can provide debug information.
lspci -nnk | grep 0280
, and add the output to the question.
