com/LaptopTesti ngTeam/ HP_Pavilion_ DV8220EA and my (totally useless) Ubuntu Hardware Database entry is at: hwdb.ubuntu. My laptop testing page is at: https:/ /wiki.ubuntu.
Here is a run through of the status on my machine, an HP dv8000 series laptop (dv8220ea) running Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) with kernel 2.6.20-14-generic. Please let me know direct if anything is wrong or confusing. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.Updated January 3rd for Gutsy - 2.6.22-14-generic This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available. To stay up to speed with the latest updates, check back with our website as often as possible. Therefore, if you wish to apply this version, click on the download button and enable your network card. Remember to perform a system reboot once done, to allow all changes to take effect properly. There is a chance that other OSes could also be suitable, but it is not advisable that you install this release on platforms other than the specified ones.
When it comes to the actual installation procedure, we should note that most producers try to make it as easy as possible, so following the steps should be a breeze: just get the downloadable package, run the setup, and follow the on-screen instructions. If you intend to update the driver version, know that this process can add support for new OSes, fix different compatibility problems, resolve related errors encountered during the product's lifetime, as well as include various other changes.
This task enables systems to connect to a network, as well as collect all component characteristics such as manufacturer and chipset. However, in order to make use of all network card (adapter) features, you must install a proper LAN driver that enables the hardware. Windows platforms generally apply a generic driver that allows motherboards to recognize the Ethernet component. Close the wizard and perform a system reboot to allow changes to take effect.
