Hello everyone,
One of my parents has recently purchased a new a laptop(a targa traveller 156x x2) specs are x2 tk-55 2 gig ram, etc.
Anyway, the laptop has an integrated wireless card and came with vista home premium preinstalled. However, we cannot possibly get the thing to connect to our(or any, for that matter) wireless network. This is what I tried:
-the regular way, entering network name,password etc etc. It gives an error message, but it says unknown error.
-With a completely unhidden and unencrypted network, doesn't work
-with a usb dongle, to make sure it's the card-> works perfectly, card doesn't
-try xubuntu 7.10 live cd, and guess what? exactly the same problem. With the integrated card, I can see any wireless networks in range, try to connect, it asks me for a password, I give it, and nothing happens. Same story with unencrypted, it just doesn't connect. And again, if I use the USB dongle in xubuntu, it works perfectly.
Does anyone have any idea as to what the problem might be? would installing XP possibly solve the problems?(this doesn't seem likely to me, since xubuntu linux gives exactly the same problems...) or could the card just be faulty?
