After weeks of problems and the rfkill stopped working in kbuilds 16 and up. I then noticed that I have a button on the key board fro the wireless. As I tend not to use these as they are mostly for windoz boxes I did not have it physically turned on. Turned the switch on and up came my wireless system.
It seems that they fixed the software to recognize my hardware switch about kbuild 16. So what I had been looking a is a downward change in compatibility was in fact a upward change. Hope this helps. sorry for not posting this to the bug report sooner Shanta http://computersysteconsulting.ca > I tried to install Linux Mint 8 on a Dell Inspiron 9400, but in the Live > CD (where I am now) it says that Device is Not Ready under Wireless > network, iwconfig or sudo lshw -C network said that something was > DISABLED, I thought the wireless drivers for this laptop are now working > for Ubuntu, but now I see this and this thread, what's going on? rfkill > unblock all did nothing. > > -- > wireless lan 'not ready' since upgrade to Karmic > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479752 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in âlinuxâ package in Ubuntu: New > > Bug description: > wireless lan shows 'device not ready' when enabled. > > I have tried some of the tips in other bugs but can't seem to get to the > bottom of the problem. > > What tools do I need to install to even see the card to test and set it > up? > > none of the defalut install tools see it. > > divice manager only sees that it is pressent but gives no data about it > other than a ? > > Prior to the upgrade it worked fine. > > Thanks > Shanta > > ProblemType: Bug > AplayDevices: > **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** > card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog] > Subdevices: 0/1 > Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 > Architecture: amd64 > AudioDevicesInUse: > USER PID ACCESS COMMAND > /dev/snd/controlC0: shanta 2458 F.... pulseaudio > /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: shanta 2458 F...m pulseaudio > Card0.Amixer.info: > Card hw:0 'NVidia'/'HDA NVidia at 0xfebd8000 irq 25' > Mixer name : 'Realtek ALC883' > Components : 'HDA:10ec0883,1462373d,00100002 > HDA:11c11040,11c10001,00100200' > Controls : 23 > Simple ctrls : 14 > Date: Mon Nov 9 20:00:51 2009 > DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 > HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=0bd33231-0e8b-47e2-8e5e-ad02a58e9fe1 > Lsusb: > Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:c018 Logitech, Inc.
