Hi,

I have just gotten my Lenovo X200s laptop, and I am install Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic on it. The installation went through without a hitch, but I can't get my wifi to work.

lspci | grep Network

Produces the following results:

00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03)
03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8172 (rev 10)

The weird part is that when I turn the wifi hardware stitch on and off on the side of the laptop, I get the following printed in /var/log messages:

Dec 30 23:24:48 temp-laptop kernel: [  213.432302] usb 4-2: USB disconnect, address 2
Dec 30 23:24:52 temp-laptop kernel: [  217.276310] usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
Dec 30 23:24:52 temp-laptop kernel: [  217.441759] usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

Does Ubuntu think my wifi card is a USB device? Am I missing some driver? What can I do to fix this? Please, help!
