Ok so maybe we should open a topic about what wireless works in ubuntu I already defined wireless in the name of the topic.And what about giving a solution
In my case I have
Atheros AR5007 EG wireles network adapter
and
Modem/Router... it comes with the company its how the name says a modem router double function...
Modem/router 2wire Model ST585v6 Thomson

I had no problem with vista, then installed ubuntu and then I read in some other forums that the only hassle with ubuntu is in the wireles drivers..so I have XP now and its perfect.

I really liked ubuntu and some other pals have similar problems like me with their wireles in ubuntu...supporters of ubuntu know that this might be a stopping from migrating.

I used the lates version of ubuntu.

So to get clear this is a post about what wireless doesnt work in ubuntu

in the topic title i wrote sub wireles its USBwireles adpters...can you chage mod please

Try going to the Applications > Add/Remove > System Tools > select: All Available Applications > Hardware Drivers.
Add that to your Ubuntu.
It tests and configures the Wireless card for your system.

The reason many Wireless and Modems/Routers are not included into Ubuntu by default is the Vendor has not released the Software required to run it into the Public Domain.
The Licensing Agreement for Ubuntu does not allow them to distribute non-public proprietary software (drivers). If your driver is found to be a proprietary driver, it will prompt you to request the download.

Works fine.

I've got this wireless adapter in one of my (K)Ubuntu desktops:

Worked perfectly out of the box.

As for routers, both the Netgear DG834G and the BT Home Hub work fine.

I'm running ubuntu on a macbook pro, the airport card didn't work when I first installed it, but after installing madwifi it worked perfectly. I have yet to find a wireless router that is not compatible with my configuration.

I understand that not only will the WRT54G work with Ubuntu, but Linux will also work within the WRT54G as well. Apparently you can upload to the RAM disk of the WRT54G and put a subset of Linux tools on it, then you can telnet into the WRT54G and use the Linux tools on it....

QUOTE
Upon completion of the installation, you'll be able to telnet into the box and have a system with basic tools such as syslog, httpd (with cgi-bin support), vi, snort, mount, insmod, rmmod, top, grep, ls, ifconfig, iptables, ssh, iptraf etc.
I haven't tried this myself yet (I did a firmware upgrade once to my WRT54G, but haven't played with it much since then, as I need it to be working) but it does sound intriguing. If you have a Linksys WRT54G and are interested in having a go, take a look at this site.
