All good advise concerning the wireless problem. One other
question I would like to address which I admit may sound
trivial. Which version of Ubuntu are you using? You say
in your email below that it is 11.1, which I expect you mean
to be 11.10. Most people would say well what is the difference?
The difference is 11.1 could be an early alpha version of 11.04
Ubuntu. The way Ubuntu names releases is the year 2011, last
two digits, 11, followed by month, releases are in April, 04 and
October, 10, so if you are using a standard release in 2011 it
would be either 11.04, or 11.10, I hope that was a help.
