Thanks for your help. I am looking through the readmes and stickies here to find an answer.
I did this:
Code:
linux-cg0f:/home/user # dmesg | grep firmware
so apparently the device firmware is installed.
Next, I downloaded a troubleshooting script from
Benutzeranleitung/Usersguide von/of collectNWData | collectNWData.sh
The output is:
Code:
linux-cg0f:/home/user/Desktop # sh ./collectNWData.sh
collectNWData.sh V0.6.1.12 (Rev: 1.162, Build: 2009/06/09 18:29:26)

I did unplug my wired ethernet cable, but it still gives me that last error message.
