Ultimate Edition Forum

Hey all,

I'm having some problems with wireless connectivity.

I'm not sure whether its the driver or the wireless settings, but I'm thinking that its the driver. I got the driver, extracted it, and got it into Ultimate Edition. I then used the wireless driver window to find the inf file, and it said it imported properly, then i configured the wireless settings. Yet its still not working.

Do I need the MAC address, or any of that stuff to set up the wireless or is there a problem with the driver I used? Can you run me through the steps on how to get this working? I'd like to use Ultimate Edition as my main OS, but its a little hard when the internet doesn't work.

Thanks in advance for the help

It can help when you give more info about which wireless you have, for the driver.
Which version distribution you use. Like Ultimate Edition 2.8, 2.9, 3.0/3.01, or Ubuntu 10.10, 11.04, 11.10 etc,
also if it's the x86 or x64/amd64 version.


I have not the same problems. I can get my wireless (usb version, Netgear WNDA3100v2) get to work for all versions of Ultimate Edition and Ubuntu x86 and amd64 up to 11.04 and 32bit 11.10, until i hit ubuntu version 11.10 x64/amd64. Than nada zip nothing...
FYI. that's with the latest Ubuntu 11.10 amd64/x64 version.
Compiling the drivers myself using the windows x64/amd64 driver, if the unit isn't recognised.
Than everything goes well, "sudo ndiswrapper" shows the driver/unit, "sudo lsusb" shows it, "sudo lshw -C network" doesn't show it.
Tried ndiswrapper v1.56 and v1.57 and bcmwlhigh6.inf (and *6.sys from the netgear win764 directory)
'For x86 you can use the bcmwlhigh5.inf and *5.sys' from the 32bit directory win732 or win786. (Dunno the exact name as I'm a total 64 bit user.)

Deleted that partion again and going to freshly install Ultimate Edition 2.9 amd64/x64 again alongside this *cough* Windows 7 Ultimate x64 version of mine.
