Does any one know how to setup the proxy for X-chat??? Also on the computer there is a wireless card (Atheros) which Ubuntu Detects but i can't access the wireless card in my networks to be able to find the connections near me. Any one here able to help?    Modified Dec 17th, 10:14pm by Bigblack40 Vidi44   Posted 17th Dec 2008 11:40pm L4Y Member Post 660 / 668 I don't use Linux for anything but messing around when I'm bored (and even then, I use Slackware, not Ubuntu), but have you tried the official (I guess) xchat help page? Alternately, try this (looks to be user-created) help page. For your Ubuntu wireless problem: Ubuntu WiFi Troubleshooting page Ubuntu Wireless Troubleshooting Guide - contains some different content from the one listed above. Ubuntu Wifi Howto Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex Wireless Setup for beginners (might have information useful for Heron[/url] General Ubuntu help: Official Ubuntu Book (3rd Ed.), by Benjamin Mako Ubuntu Linux Bible Ubuntu Help Page Ubuntu Forums Ubuntu Linux Help Also, try your wireless card, or computer, manufacturer's website for a driver update for Linux (if you really feel brave, just a plain old "Linux" driver for your specific card might work, otherwise try to find something specific to your distro - Hardy Heron). Anyway, may [insert diety of choice here] help you in setting up your wireless card. Linux still has some pretty poor support for wireless cards (mostly because they are proprietary and the FOSS community has to resort to reverse-engineering most of the code), and a common experience among Linux users is the "thrill" of using ndiswrapper (something you may have to do, as Atheros has a history of not releasing their drivers to the FOSS community) to configure their wireless card.
