The distro is Ubuntu 8.10. The PC card connected to a previous 3Com router but does not with the present wireless BT Home hub as supplied for BT Total Broadband. The PC card's lights flash so it is connected to the laptop but not apparently to the hub. My Dell Inspirion 1300 running Windows XP and my Asus eeeLaptop both connect having the key entered. I see nowhere to enter the key with Ubuntu 8.10. A desktop with Kubuntu 8.04 which is wired to the hub works well. What does lspci -v mean?
