Hi All!

I'm new on Navigatrix and I run it from USB.

Everything is workin' well except internet connection. I have integrated wi-fi and, under windows environment it is on and it works. On Navigatrix I'm not able to switch it on to connect to my wifi internet router.

Please note I know nothing about Liux/Ubuntu S.O.

Anybody can help me?

Thanks in advance!

The first thing to check is if something is turned off.

Open a terminal by pressing <ctl><alt><t> at the same time, or Menu> Accessory> Terminal Emulator

After the command prompt enter:
Code:
rfkill list
it will look something like this
Quote:
moe@fission-chips:~$ rfkill list
0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: tpacpi_wwan_sw: Wireless WAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
3: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
moe@fission-chips:~$
Soft block are software controlled, Hard blocks are physical switches.

If any are hard blocked (doubtful, but possible); toggle the switch.

If any are soft blocked enter
Code:
sudo rfkill unblock all

moe@fission-chips:~$ sudo rfkill unblock all

It is possible to turn on/off individual devices, but we can save that for later.

Try it.

If you still don't have wireless enter
Code:
lspci |grep -i net
it will look like this

moe@fission-chips:~$ lspci |grep -i net

take the information from the first part of your wireless device (in my case it's 03:00.0) and enter lspci -v -s <your device>

moe@fission-chips:~$ lspci -v -s 03:00.0
