I have installed ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop. It has a 802.11n wireless card. When I boot up to ubuntu, the wireless does not work. And if I connect to a wire network within ubuntu, it works.
Ubuntu can't detect any of the Wifi network in my home (other laptop can). And I click 'Enable Wireless' in the notification area, it said 'Device not found' for the Wireless Network.
The card is 'Intel Wireless-N Card with Bluetooth'
Can you please tell me how can I setup my wireless card in ubuntu 9.10?
Thank you.

What do you mean by "doesn't work"? Is the card not recognized? Are you unable to connect to a AP (what type of encryption)? – Benjamin Bannier – 2010-04-14T21:12:02.313
Any particular wireless card? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams – 2010-04-14T21:18:45.670
Is the wireless card enabled in BIOS? – mattiast – 2010-04-15T00:41:58.693

Have you installed the drivers for the card. I am going to guess there isn't any or if there is support its ver limited for a Linux driver provided by Intel. – Ramhound – 2011-10-27T13:59:24.650
Have you installed these packages, edited their config files from the command line and then recompiled your kernel? If not, you probably should. Year of Linux on the desktop, I say. – ta.speot.is – 2012-05-05T08:19:41.813
Why are you using 9.10? I think hardware support would be better in the newer versions.... – Seth – 2012-12-02T04:28:09.770
