Thread: Onboard Wireless [Part 2]

in continuation of thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1765155

wireless can detect public library network, after disabling ralink drivers, cannot obtain ip address, ever, can put connection (if) , down, network won't give me ip address.

thankfully, thought something: fedora? when try use onboard wireless adapter?

so, installed fedora using unetbootin, , guess what, wireless can obtain ip address public library ubuntu couldn't. drivers fedora uses follows:

first reply, here's output of lsmod | grep -e rt2 -e rt3

code:

rt2800pci               6905  0  rt2800lib              28798  1 rt2800pci crc_ccitt               1253  1 rt2800lib rt2x00pci               4635  1 rt2800pci rt2x00lib              35935  3 rt2800pci,rt2800lib,rt2x00pci mac80211              201962  3 rt2800lib,rt2x00pci,rt2x00lib cfg80211              116037  2 rt2x00lib,mac80211 eeprom_93cx6            1255  1 rt2800pci

compared ubuntu:

code:

rt2870sta             410104  0  rt2860sta             494649  0  rt2800usb              17907  0  rt2800pci              18159  0  rt2800lib              43824  2 rt2800usb,rt2800pci crc_ccitt              12595  3 rt2870sta,rt2860sta,rt2800lib rt2x00pci              13986  1 rt2800pci rt2x00usb              19693  1 rt2800usb rt2x00lib              39075  5 rt2800usb,rt2800pci,rt2800lib,rt2x00pci,rt2x00usb mac80211              257001  4 rt2800lib,rt2x00pci,rt2x00usb,rt2x00lib cfg80211              156212  2 rt2x00lib,mac80211 eeprom_93cx6           12653  1 rt2800pci

ignore usb entries in ubuntu, d-link adapter ralink well. so, can figure out must ubuntu working, in case ever want go back? fedora works fine, not ubuntu. said, fedora can obtain ip address of library, but not ubuntu. yes, tried wicd , gnome network manager, both cannot obtain ip address in ubuntu. (fedora uses gnome's network manager. use lxde spin.)
