Alright, now that I figured what FN-F11 actually does (ahem), the only thing that's left not-working is WiFi. I have installed samsung-wireless, can detect wireless, but cannot make a successful connection most of the time. Other devices connect to same WiFi network easily.amerog wrote:I am wondering what went wrong, and if there is a way to make Wifi work and FN release.
Sorry if correct Ubuntu terminology is not used here, but am very new to the OS (less than 36 hours). I too have got a N210 now with Ubuntu 10.10 installed, and have followed amerog's post with the same degree of success and failure - ie wireless doesn't work.amerog wrote:Alright, now that I figured what FN-F11 actually does (ahem), the only thing that's left not-working is WiFi.

Thanks hawkeye9322 for tracing this with me. It seems that the problem has to do with WPA only. WEP and open networks have no trouble here too, except WEP is quite easy to crack, so it is useless to use anyway. Open is a good idea if have an unlimited bandwidth or can support your neighbour. I wish I could, but I also want to use this laptop in all situations, including when I am in a place with WPA.hawkeye9322 wrote:
I guessed that doing
sudo apt-get remove samsung-wireless
sudo apt-get remove samsung-wireless-2.6.35-22
sudo apt-get install samsung-wireless-2.6.35-22
then a restart of the machine might work.
Did that, machine started to negotiate the connection to the wireless network, asked for the WEP key, which I entered, and it connected, and has stayed connected.
Again, sorry if this is not the "approved" way of doing things in Ubuntu, but despite that, it has worked here, and I now have what appears to be a stable wireless connection
Aagh. Apologies. Ignore the bit about WEP key. I should have said WPA/WPA2.amerog wrote:Thanks hawkeye9322 for tracing this with me. It seems that the problem has to do with WPA only.

I am guessing samsung-wireless is a 'generic' package that only points to the most recent version of Voria's kernel. No, Voria?
