T42 wifi with linux...

Hello

am installing debian linux 5.0 on t42s.  usually I get them on ebay with the cards already installed wifi and it is no harm at all to lift the machine with debian. However I got recently a t42 without wifi card so I got a (by intel) from ebay and installed myself. I'm sure that it is physically installed OK because when I start to professional xp splash screen the little wifi icon lights. I didn't by installing xp well. that the wifi icon does not light before putting the new wifi adapter.

I'm trying to set up this machine as an xp dual boot and debian. I usually install debian via net install. with my other t42s this process via the wifi was nice and it worked just to the right.

However, when I try to do an installation of debian using the adapter wifi on this computer, the installer says that it cannot configure the dhcp using wifi (but it can if I plug it into the cable net ether).

is there something else I should do to logicaly install wifi for the debian installer can recognise him? as the access ibm button for example use?

or is there simply no linux for this wifi card driver intel? I think that there is a linux driver for any product to intel but I could be wrong. WFI with linux it's a little tricky.

Maybe if I use ether net for installation I get the wifi linux driver later.

If not, what is the oem for the t42 wireless adapter?

Please notify.

I have three total t42 units. two with model number 23734TU and the other (the troubled unit) with model number 2373-4TU. the difference is the dash between the numbers 3 and 4.

Based on the information you provided I agree that the 2100 b card should work with the 4TU-2373.

the only way I know how to test for sure everything flows through the configuration script in windows xp. I wanted to avoid this but I don't see any easy choice.

I guess that if the wifi under the display icon lights up then the card is functional. Turns on the xp splash screen.

otherwise I could download the latest debian installer and see if it gets the card to operate under a facility. net a debian-installer an integrety check maybe I'll try that.

My big concern is that the card should work when operating by linux.

I remember well the card could only be installed one way. Perhaps one of the two antenna broke while I was reassembling. I don't think, but I could open it and check. but I wanted to avoid this.

SOLUTION! the solution is to use the map of cisco wireless.

  • Tecra R940 - 1 hr: what happens to work out of the box with Linux?

    I'm considering buying a laptop Tecra R940 - 1 hr.
    I'm going to use it with linux (ubuntu) system.

    What happens to work out of the box?
    Should I expect any problems with the display/network/wifi/sound?
    What about camera, usb 3.0 and bt?

    What is possible to work? Suspend? Function keys? Fingerprint reader? SD reader?

    What's not to work?

    I run Ubuntu Studio (12.04) on a Tecra A11-ST3504, and everything works perfectly.

    However, your computer probably has the latest UEFI instead of the BIOS, and this causes problems for some with start-up and installation.

    If the live system starts and runs, I'd go for it.

    I'll put the admins the trouble to make their usual warning: "of course, Linux is not supported by Toshiba."

  • Satellite L305-S5939 - Dual boot with Linux

    I recently bought the notebook title mentioned for my studies in computer programming that will require me to dual boot with Linux.
    I decided to use Ubuntu and their instructions for upward the dual boot parameters are simple.

    However, I heard from people having problems with the settings of the BIOS on other brands when said is finished.
    Before I embark on this journey, I want to just make sure that everything is set to avoid problems.

    Unfortunately, I have not found much information about Dual boot with Linux and Toshiba L305s.
    Other than the basic principles of what I need to do before installing?

    I think that a dual boot on the Satellite L305 should not be a problem because you can do it on every laptop or PC.

    If you want Ubuntu you should take a look on Wubi
    http://wubi-Installer.org/
    It of pretty easy to use and in my opinion the best way to install Ubuntu on a system dual boot.

  • Toshiba laptops work well with Linux?

    I'm a big fan of Toshiba, but it's the last time I buy a Toshiba product. Producing none of Toshiba laptops running Linux? Least toshiba engineers could do is to make sure that a live ubuntu cd works on the laptop, to make sure that the fan starts and check maybe even the graphics driver works. If it's the fault of ubuntu then drop a bug in launchpad. As far as I know, none of the new Toshiba laptops have a fan that works properly, don't waste your money.

    > All computers laptop Toshiba work well with Linux?
    In General, they work well with Linux. If you see this section of Linux, you'll see that menu use Linux on various models of Toshiba laptops.

    Officially, Linux is not supported on Toshiba laptops and it may happen that you will have a few small problems with Toshiba specific things like the multimedia keys.

  • Is a PCI-6120 card in a computer with linux useful for the analog output?

    We have a PCI-6120, and we want to use in a computer with linux OS, to the analog inputs and analog outputs.  I have downloaded the driver NOR-DAQmx Base 3.2 for linux, and in the file README.txt only analog input is mentioned for this Council. It is possible to use this card PCI-6120 in linux, with output and analog input computer?

    Best regards

    Hey, Gallas,.

    This line in the README file simply refers to the PCI-6120 by its more popular, analog input subsystem (given that it is a simultaneous sampling device, the AI is the most commonly used subsystem). But NEITHER-DAQmx for Linux does not have the same limitations NOR-DAQmx base has. In other words, it supports the ability of analog output on the PCI-6120.

    Kind regards
