I have four FIT-PC2's that I need to get set up, so this is becoming a pressing issue for me.
My hardware is FIT-PC2 Ubuntu, fairly fresh from the factory. Out of the box the wireless does not work. They came with Ubuntu 9.10 working fine, but no wireless.

Here's my problem:

-Wireless does not work. I've attempted to install the rt3090 wireless driver twice, no effect.
-Running an iwconfig scan tells me that the device "is not capable of scanning"
-Pulling up the dropdown menu at the top says that the device is disconnected.

Wired internet works fine.

These machines are going on customer's robots, so I need to find a solution sometime soon...

Hi craighickman

A bit on limb here.. But have you update with the fitpc2 kernel and xserver driver hosted by compulab ..?

Here is the referring link..

If you already installed the repo, and updated accordingly, and it still does not work, report back after running the command.

In terminal

$ lspci

You might wanna direct it too a file for easy cutting and pasting..

$ lspci >> ~/sample.txt

(the output will be a file called "sample.txt" in your home dir.

Cheers.

I'm not at work anymore, but I'll give this a try tomorrow and get back to you on whether it works.

Found the issue.

I had been using dd to copy a "working" operating system across to the FIT-PC's. Turns out the "working" one had a bad spot on the disk, right where the wireless drivers were sitting.

All better now.

Thank for the report.
