Answer 1

sounds like a driver issue. do you know the model of the wireless card?



try the latest version (9.04)... the ps3 wasn't around with wireless capability when 7.04 was the most current... (ps3 came out with wireless in late 2007, making the ubuntu version at the time 7.10)



I haven't been able to find the wireless card model, but when you find it, cross-reference it with here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported

That will tell you if it's supported in 9.04... I'd be surprised if it weren't...

Answer 2

Here is the Official Ubuntu Wireless Documentation

In the event of your Wifi card being unsupported you can use Ndiswrapper Here is the Official Ubuntu Ndiswrapper Documentation

Run Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) on PS3

It should be noted that although it is probably the best release ever of the distro. Ubuntu 7.04 is now two years old and no longer supported



I thoroughly recommend you carry out a clean installation of the latest release Ubuntu 9.04 which is quite outstanding furthermore there is a dedicated PS3 download available (select PlayStation 3 desktop CD)

If you wish the whole lot adding the kitchensync, pass with Debian. Both KDE and Gnome have GUI interfaces for the kit supervisor, and Debian entails a conversion untility kit referred to as alien that convers RPM (redhat applications ) to deb (Debian applications. If you've a well web connection, you'll be able to set up an excessively elementary Debian distro from a CD and even boot from a suite of floppies, then attach by way of the web to down load, improve and set up programs from a choice of enormous quantities. Debian Stable may be very steady, however now not innovative.But in the event you wish probably the most entire number of apps, pass with the whole three dvd set of Debian. You will even order debian on dvd for a nominal construction cost.
