Thanks! That is what is happening :-)

Right now the DVDmovie is working fine. It didn't this morning :-(

I will keep trying and if I need a function not working yet, I will go
back to 8.04 and do it :-D

It seems 10.04 dropped support for some older hardware.

My old ORINOCO Gold WiFi PC-Cards aren't working anymore.

......unlike Debian, about which the greatest complaints were that it
had a horrible installer and too long a release cycle. Along came
Ubuntu, based on Debian, which cured the installer problem (Debian has
since caught up, and has got a pretty nifty GUI installer now), but
Ubuntu never really solved the release cycle problem, and with a wider
range of architectures supported by Debian it now looks as though
Debian is worth taking a second look at.

The problem with 10.04 is mainly the bugs, but it also suffers from an
attempt at "branding" in which the window controls have been moved from
the right to the left. This is not a bug but deliberate, however at
least one distribution based on Ubuntu has decided to bend to popular
voices (Ultimate Edition 2.6) and move the window controls and
advertise the difference, so making it a point when getting others to
try it. I'm already using UE2.6 because I am disabled user and require
the window controls to be on the left, because of my disability.

If the major bugs that remain (all OS have bugs so we can't eradicate
them entirely) have not been brought under control by July, then I for
one will be seriously looking at Debian (or one of those distributions
based on it using the Gnome desktop such as Parsix).......or stay with
9.10, except that isn't an LTS release.....

Used to be my favorite PCMCIA card because of the external antenna connection. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/259157 is related (and many others). My "Orinoco Gold" cards were model wd-8470 and had an atheros chipset. They worked well with the madwifi drivers until they were updated a few years ago. During that period, the "orinoco" drivers were extended to include the WD-8470 and never worked as well as the older madwifi.


Recently, I have been using TP-Link USB radios but the v2 of these devices don't work either.* I pried the broadcom radio out of my laptop and installed an Intel and have been more or less happy ever since. The little Ubiquiti NanoStation Locos work well as does my older Buffalo with DD-WRT. I have a couple of PicoStations on order.


My guess is that hal and dbus are working against you. If I were motivated to get the WD-8470 working with Lucid (which I am not) I would look into getting the madwifi drivers.

Hi!



Well, yes, the external plug, with car roof-mounted antena for war
driving (which in those days yielded useful results)...



I didn't try madwifi. I tried ndiswrappers but they don't work with the
ORINOCO (they do work on another machine, my EeePC 900).



So I'm sort of stuck for now...



Gilles.
