Hello again! I just opened my fitPC2 and found that I have a RTL8187L based wlan card inside (it looks like there are some fitPC2 versions using this chipset)... Does this explain the problem I observed? Actually at this point I would like to upgrade my WLAN card, buying a brand new Atheros-based on...

I can confirm that switching back to the generic kernel via apt-get, I have the WLAN working.
The RTL8187 drivers are used in this case.

What I don't understand is: I thought fitPC2 had a rt3070 wireless adapter, but it appears that mine has a different hardware (RTL8187) ?

May I then just revert to the original Mint kernel by apt-get? Could you give me a hint here?

I don't want to reinstall the operating system since I have spent much time to configure it as a server.

What I would lose compared to the custom fitPC2 kernel?

Hi, I just tried with Mint live and the WLAN works correctly with it.
Please find attached the lspci and dmesg logs for this case.

Yes, on Windows 7 I could see the hardware and I could enable/disable it.
Most of the time I kept it disabled on Win7, since I normally use cabled connection.
Now I am not sure that I enabled it before installing Mint. Could it be the reason why Linux doesn't see the device?

Hi, Thanks for your reply! I have added the logs in the attached zip archive. Please note that I have now plugged an additional usb/ethernet adapter (eth1), and have several vlans configured on my machine (they appear in the dmesg log). Those work perfectly. But I never managed to see WLAN working o...

Hi, Unfortunately WLAN is not working in my case (but it was working on windows 7 just before switching to Linux). I have a first generation fitPC2 C1100-H-W. Kernel version is fitpc2 2.6.35-34-fitpc2 The RT3090 device is even not listed by lspci, but I am sure hardware was working on win7 Do you ha...
