I didn't want to bother the list any further, and if worst comes to<br>worst, I might bring in my machine at the installfest to hash some of<br>this out, but I haven't been getting much in the way of replies at the<br>forums, and in some cases my emails to people are bouncing, so....
<br><br>1) Setting up wireless card on my wife's laptop<br><br>You can check this out for the full synopsis, but the final gist is:<br><a href="http://ubuntuforums.org">http://ubuntuforums.org</a>/showthread.php?t=174118<br>
<br>$ sudo /etc/init.d/ifplugd start<br>* Starting Network Interface Plugging Daemon... [fail]<br>$ sudo /etc/init.d/ifplugd start<br>* Starting Network Interface Plugging Daemon... Sorry, there is<br>already an instance of ifplugd for eth0 running.
<br>Sorry, there is already an instance of ifplugd for wlan0 running.<br>[fail]<br>$ sudo /etc/init.d/ifplugd stop<br>* Stopping Network Interface Plugging Daemon... [ ok ]<br>$ sudo /etc/init.d/ifplugd start<br>* Starting Network Interface Plugging Daemon... [fail]
<br>$ sudo /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant start<br>sudo: /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant: command not found<br><br>I went into System: Administration: Networking and the 'wireless' is<br>still labelled 'eth1' instead of 'wlan0' and I don't know how to
<br>change it, cause that's what ndiswrapper is using, correct?<br><br>(for the record, the sound miraculous started working the next day, so<br>that's ok)<br><br>2) Setting up User Mode Linux<br><br><a href="http://ubuntuforums.org">

<br><br>Hope that explains everything. It's frustrating not getting replies,<br>and most of the similar topics on the forums have died slow deaths<br>without clear answers. If you can help out, even a little, on any one<br>
of these three topics, I would be very thankful. God bless<br><br> -jordan<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota<br><a href="mailto:tclug-list@mn-linux.org">
