Lenovo R61i Wireless Problem
Mon, 06/13/2011 - 16:05
Hi,
I am new to Trisquel. I decided to breath new life into an old laptop by installing Trisquel on it. In most respects, I love it. My only complaint is that it will not connect to Wireless. Is there a driver that I can download that is compatible with this disto? Or is it possible that is not the issue? I love this distro and would love to use it on this laptop but I need the wireless. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rpgray

You need to know the exact chipset of your wireless card. The 'lspci' command (to be entered in a terminal you will find in the Accessories menu) will tell you. The relevant line should contain "Network controller".
