my wireless device is inactive. It worked with 8.10. The computer is an Acer Aspire 3610

Binary package hint: gnome-nettool

I have an Acer Aspire 3610.
The wireless was working on Ubuntu 8.10 but after installing 9.04 it is only inactive even though it is marked to start automatic.

ProblemType: Bug
Architecture: i386
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04
ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gnome-nettool
Package: gnome-nettool 2.26.1-0ubuntu1
ProcEnviron:
 LANG=da_DK.UTF-8
 SHELL=/bin/bash
SourcePackage: gnome-nettool
Uname: Linux 2.6.28-11-generic i686

I do not exact know why it is now working.

I got the idea to start su from a terminal.
After this I went around in the network setting and hardware drivers. In the hardwaredriver menu it suddenly found a broadcom B43 driver which I could start as su , and suddenly it worked.
I did also install a windows driver program but it could not see the hardware so I do not think it had helped to download the windows driver fro Acer.
But never the less now it is working. :-)

Thanks for the report but that's not a gnome-nettool issue the bug needs to be reassigned. probably to linux.

Hi Pedro,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in
it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try
with the latest Karmic 9.10 release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are
available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If the issue remains, could you run the following command from a
Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) while running Karmic. It
will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this
report.
