Get the simple questions out of the way first and all that.

I don't have a wifi B2 so I probably won't be much help now.

You could make sure the wifi card is being detected. If you SSH into the box and run

Code: Select all

lspci 
what's the output?

this is the output

00:00.0 Power PC: Freescale Semiconductor Inc Device 00b0 (rev 21)

Well I can't compare it to mine because, like I said, I don't have a wifi enabled B2. However, it looks to me like your wifi card isn't being detected

Maybe one of the other good folks could compare it to their own as I'm only assuming the wifi card is on the PCI interface.

Don't know about the B2, but on B3 it's pci connected:

Assuming you've restarted the unit and tried all of the above, try

Code: Select all

/sbin/ifconfig -a
and see if the wireless is reported. Also examine the output of

Code: Select all

dmesg
to see if there is any sign of the wireless being detected. If not, then I suspect your unit is broken.

Hi,

I also do not have the same hardware, so comparison is not easy. But I have a B3 with wifi, and what you have posted (output of lspci and ifconfig -a) suggests that there is no recognition of the wifi hardware by your machine.

If I where you, I would feel inclined to open the enclosure and try to make sure the connection points to the wifi card where all solid. I can not recommend such a thing of course, it is just what I would do...

Cheers,

Cheeseboy

I´ve just opened it removed the card and put it back, all looks ok!

Is there anyway to reinstall the card or is it "plug n play" ???

It should at least be detected and install at boot.

You shouldn't have to do that. Of course you could try to reinstall the whole thing from the reinstall image.
But if I understood things correctly, you recently got your Bubba2 and the wifi never worked?
Then you couldn't have messed around with it too much?

It might be a hardware failure, please contact support@excito.com

Great minds think alike! :-)

So you've opened the unit and disconnected then reconnected it and still no go. I suspect your unit is broken, contact support.

By the way, what did dmesg output tell yout?

I´ve just bought the Bubba, my intention was to use it as a server at my girlsfriends office. I havent messed with it, I´ve got a very little knowledge about Linux/unix.

I´ve made a reclamation to the store where i´ve bought it.

Thanx everone for your help!

This is the output!
