Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2011 7:40 am Post subject: Wireless not working in LiveCD |
|
|
Hi, this is my first time on the forums
But when I running the LiveCD off my usb I can't actually use my wireless on my laptop. My Wireless icon (on my laptop) seems to light up (making out it's on) but I can't see any wireless networks, even when I select the other wireless drivers on the LiveCD.
My wireless network card works on some most other Linux OS's. My wireless card is an 'Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 5100 ABGN'
Can anyone help? _________________ "If you support wikileaks you are a terrorist" American Government
Well then you know what? I'm a terrorist then! And I'm happy about it, I can help bring the truth out! |

Use the System RescueCD instead. Boot to the xfce GUI and find network manager icon in the lower right corner. The minimal install cd is pretty much minimal; nonetheless, you should be able to connect to a wep or open wireless network via Code: | net-setup <your interface name> | Run ifconfig -a to determine the interface name. _________________ Defund the FCC. |

It is also the best choice for a gentoo install cd.
It is also pretty good for rescuing Win and Mac os's.
