Hi all,

Perhaps this is sheer ignorance, but i just cant figure out which wireless chipset i´ve got. Its irrelevant to say that my wireless conection doesn´t authenticate (repeating the process without end). So this is the output of lspci:

linux-wghx:~ # lspci

00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS AGP Port (virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge)

Here are a couple more terminal commands you could run and post the output from.

/usr/sbin/hwinfo

/sbin/ifconfig

Thank You,

Hi
Is this an Advent system? It might be a usb device so try;


lsusb

Looks like you might try;

  • Upgrade the BIOS
  • Is there a Fn key + n to press, does this enable it
  • Install rfkill and run

rfkill list
