Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-network

Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-12-generic does not support my Belkin Wireless Notebook card.
I can't get it to connect to my router.

However when I boot up Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-12-generic (recovery mode) my network Belkin wireless card comes to life and I'm able to connect to my router. I'm writing this by using the Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-12-generic (recovery mode) to get my Belkin 54g F5D7010 card to work.

I used the beta Ubuntu 7.04 CD to install on my laptop. I had Ubuntu 6.10 installed prior to this and everything, networking wise worked fine.

I using WEP 64 bit encryption security and a SSID of Belkin 54g. I've tried disabling the security but this didn't make a diference. My Belkin wireless card still refused to connect to the router.

I see the lights come on on the card as it tries to find my router but I never see any signal strength bars indicating the card ever found a wireless network.

When I issued this command from a terminal session:

sudo ifup ra0

My wireless network card (Belkin F5D7010) came alive and I was able to connect to the internet via my router.

I just rebooted because of a kernel upgrade to Ubuntu 2.6.20-13-generic.

The only way I was able to get my wireless network card to work again was to first issue the terminal command,

sudo ifdown ra0

then after that I issued command

sudo ifup ra0

and my network card came to life.

Hi there
do you still experience this issue with the current version of the application?, could you please try to reproduce this using the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron.

Thanks in advance

No, actually after I installed Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 Ubuntu from scratch( no upgrading) , I haven't had this problem. My Belkin Wireless cards works just fine.
