Turning on Wireless Card for an Evo N800w - kmd - 2007-07-19

I am unable to turn on my wireless card (a Multiport W200 from Compaq) in Fedora 7. Normally, I would press Fn-F2, but this does not work while Linux is running. I have a Compaq Evo N800w. Would anyone be able to help me with this? Thank you.

no wireless devices listed there at all,

 

try doing that again after pressing FN+F2 a few times to see does it change

 

also paste the results of lsusb here (maybe it's usb ?)

 

cheers

I pressed Fn-F2 a few more times and still no change in lspci. There's a light on the wireless card that usually lights up when it's on and it hasn't turned on once. Thanks.

ok still not seeing it

 

paste the results of /var/log/dmesg here please

 

you can use vi to view it (or gedit or nano)

Turning on Wireless Card for an Evo N800w - anyweb - 2007-07-23


i cannot see any reference to wireless or radio anywhere in there, are you absolutely sure that

 

* wireless is enabled in the bios (enter the bios at boot time and check wireless options, make sure wireless is enabled/on)

* a wireless card is connected and on

 

?



Turning on Wireless Card for an Evo N800w - kmd - 2007-07-23


I'm sure that the wireless card is installed and works properly. My problem is that I can't turn it on using the Fn-F2 key combination. I should have said that I have a dual boot system with Windows XP Professional installed as well.

 

The key combination works in Windows and I am able to use the wireless just fine. It's only in Linux that it simply won't turn on. Is there any information that I've forgotten that might helps as well? Thanks for the help so far.

This is interesting.

 

When I press Fn-F2, I get the following result with lsusb:



Code:
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 049f:0076 Compaq Computer Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 045e:0039 Microsoft Corp. IntelliMouse Optical




 

If I press it again, here's the result:



Code:
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 045e:0039 Microsoft Corp. IntelliMouse Optical




 

So even though the light on the wireless card isn't coming on, something is happening when I press Fn-F2.
