Do i need to install additional drivers on computer after installing Ubuntu. How do i find and install them?
Listing your system specs would be helpful. Knowing which version of Ubuntu you've installed would be helpful. Knowing whether you have any Linux experience or if you're a newb would be helpful. Knowing whether you're asking about an ethernet connection or wireless would be helpful. In other words, you haven't provided nearly enough info. Try looking here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support
Sorry, Computer is a hp pavilion dv 2025nr. Processor is amd turion 64. 2 gigs ram. 320 disk space. Running ubuntu 10.04. I have no prior knowledge with ubuntu and im trying to connect wirelessly. What happened was i installed a new hardrive onto my computer and i wanted to give ubuntu a try. Usually when i used to reinstall windows i have to go to hps site and dowload all the drivers necessary for the computer to work properly. So when i boot up ubuntu i am assuming i have to do the same thing. Like install nvidia drivers, audio, networking. ect. Let me know. Thanks
I followed the above link. My switch is turned on also however it still says that it is disabled. also, when i try and run the test under system testing for the network controller, im pretty sure that it just times out or something.
Is this a USB wireless dongle or a PCI wireless card? Did you try using the Windows wireless driver as described in the link?
I tried installing ndiswrapper and im not sure if i know how to install it.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/W... Would you consider a different distro such as Linux Mint? It's based on Ubuntu but it's more "windows-like" & a bit easier to work with.
