Lack of Wireless Function

[craighickman]

I have four FIT-PC2's that I need to get set up, so this is becoming a pressing issue for me.
My hardware is FIT-PC2 Ubuntu, fairly fresh from the factory. Out of the box the wireless does not work. They came with Ubuntu 9.10 working fine, but no wireless.

Here's my problem:

-Wireless does not work. I've attempted to install the rt3090 wireless driver twice, no effect.
-Running an iwconfig scan tells me that the device "is not capable of scanning"
-Pulling up the dropdown menu at the top says that the device is disconnected.

Wired internet works fine.

These machines are going on customer's robots, so I need to find a solution sometime soon...

Hi craighickman

A bit on limb here.. But have you update with the fitpc2 kernel and xserver driver hosted by compulab ..?

Here is the referring link..

http://fit-pc2.com/wiki/index.php?title ... buntu_9.10

If you already installed the repo, and updated accordingly, and it still does not work, report back after running the command.

In terminal

$ lspci

You might wanna direct it too a file for easy cutting and pasting..

$ lspci >> ~/sample.txt

(the output will be a file called "sample.txt" in your home dir.

Cheers.

I'm not at work anymore, but I'll give this a try tomorrow and get back to you on whether it works.

Found the issue.

I had been using dd to copy a "working" operating system across to the FIT-PC's. Turns out the "working" one had a bad spot on the disk, right where the wireless drivers were sitting.

All better now.

Thank for the report.
