WiFi not working

Post by pezhore »

Hello,

I'm messing around with the Fit-PC2, and after installing Ubuntu 11.04, the wireless refuses to connect to my AP. Is there any special driver or steps that have to be taken to get this working?

Did you get it working?

It was working last night for me, I rebooted and now it says:

Code: Select all

# wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -Dwext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf 
Could not set interface wlan0 flags: Input/output error
Failed to initialize driver interface
# ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error
This is what I see in dmesg

It seems the compat-wireless is broken on 2.6.38 and Ubuntu stopped doing backports for it :( - Installing compat-wireless-2011-07-05 solved the issue for me.

Instructions here:
