Using that software might end up fking up your wireless card on windows, atleast that’s what happend to me on windows 8. So be careful, i would suggest to use a live cd to do this, eventually use backtrack

I don’t know what happened, but I figured how to fix my problem I referenced before.

I had to install rfkill:
sudo apt-get install rfkill

and then:
rfkill unblock all

And everything started working as normal again.

@oggie

This was written for Ubuntu 6.06, not Ubuntu 10.10. Maybe there’s another file in your system that was edited? It’s hard to see what the issue for you might be, when we don’t know what the issue really is.

@James
This was written for a much older version of Ubuntu, Dapper. This version is not for Karmic.

I’m Reading your tutorial, still working my way through it and I’m stuck on the madwifi driver part. Not the installation part but the actual NECESSITY of it. This is the second system i have Ubuntu on, the first one was karmic koala and on my new laptop has maverick. On my first laptop i had a hell of a time getting the wireless driver to work and the madwifi driver made it worse. So i have a little grudge against it lol.
So to recap do i REALLY have to replace the wireless driver if mine already works?
