I hope you aren't combining two separate messages. My wireless has
worked ever since I first loaded Ubuntu 6.06 onto my Toshiba laptop. I
have used it continuously for over six months on this laptop. I am
using it as I send this message. I fact I even replaced an old
Linksystem B router with a new Netgear g router last month without any
problem.

As an aside, I boot in Windows very seldom now as I like Ubuntu much
better. I never use Windows on the web anymore.
