Hello to all, Have a problem with a very old Dell XPS M1330. The box is 12 years old (2008) and runs Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. It has only been used recently to play frozen bubble as it has a very good keyboard. The problem: It does not pick the wifi. The switch on the side of the box doesn't seem to be working. I have checked the BIOS and both wifi and blue tooth seem to be turned on there (ENABLED). I tried iwconfig which listed the following interfaces and that nothing was wifi capable lo eth1 vboxnet0 I tried sudo ifconfig vboxnet0 up and sudo ifconfig vboxnet0 down which show I can turn the vboxnet0 interface on and off. With it turned on I again tried iwconfig and still there are no wifi capable interfaces. This happens with the Ubuntu that is on this box and with Mint 17 booted from a USB key. Any ideas? Is the wifi internal card dead? old system? Thanks in advance, Take care and be safe J. -- Stripes Theotoky -37 .713869 145.050562
