UPDATED: this blacklist fix is not needed in Ubuntu 11.10... in fact it needs to be removed for my EeePC wireless to work with 11.10.I found that new versions of the kernel version 2.6.38 have significant problems with wireless connection when running on EeePC 1000. My EeePc 1000 has a Ralink wireless chip - RaLink RT2860. The driver is in the kernel but these latest kernels in Ubuntu 11.04 (and Fedora 15) will not connect to my G router. I found a fix! Google showed me the way add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf # Fix the wireless in Natty (Ubuntu 11.04) blacklist rt2800pci blacklist rt2800lib blacklist rt2x00pci blacklist rt2x00lib My EeePc now connects without issue and can reconnect after coming back from suspend. |
