Only One Thing On My Mind

guess what it could be??
no. its not sex, nor any girl.
believe its UBUNTU. i am having problems with ma wireless driver in it. it does not detect wireless networks. and when i googled it , i found out that i am not the only guy to have these problems. there are thousands like me.
basically, one can say ubuntu is not compatible with ATHEROS or BROADCOM wireless cards. thats what i think. i works perfectly on INTEL wireless cards. i searched over the internet but have not yet found anything conclusive. of course there is some bla bla bla written that i ( and any normal person) cant understand. they dont even mention the language.
and when things dont go the way you want them, you have only one thing in your mind, to fix it. if you cant, you get frastated. this is not ma philosophy but human nature.
let me tell me what i did from the begining.
1.i installed ubuntu version 8.04 . wifi does not work in it. installed ndisgtk and ndiswrapper, but no use.
2.removed ubuntu.
3.installed ubuntu 8.10 (as ma friend advised me to do so).
again wifi not working(i became frastated). tried ndisgtk and ndiswrapper, but error while installing them.
4. searched for MADWIFI. not able to get .deb file.( ma frastation continues). there are tar.gz and tar.bz2 files available on internet.
5.last thing i did was taking ma laptop to internet via a wired lan. you can take your laptop to cyber cafe or access via landline phone. open application manager and install few thing. MADWIFI, NDISGTK, NDISWRAPPER, WIFI RADAR and windows driver extractor if you know any other than these.
6. checked out ma wifi. it worked.( i became happy :) ).


so if you have similar problems i would suggest you take your laptop or desktop to internet via a wired connection and install the recommended application. thats the best way. believe me!!
