XP Pro/Ubuntu Dual-Boot Problem

I have XP Pro on my AAO, and have installed Ubuntu as a dual-boot system. All works really well, except that when I boot into Ubuntu it doesn't recognise the Wi-fi card. The Wi-fi light doesn't flicker, and the switch doesn't work.

It still works fine in Windows, so its obviously a software issue, but I can't find out where in Ubuntu to enable the card. Any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

 

I recommend EEEbuntu which has been adapted to the netbooks. I have it on my AAO and wifi works fine. There are only few tweaks to make in order to have the card slots work a little better.

 

Thanks - I'll try that.

 

I got the wireless card to work in Ubuntu using the NDISWRAPPER around the XP drivers. The post is on here:

Once I did these steps, wireless worked reliably. If only I could get the onboard mic to work.

 

I installed eeebuntu - works like a dream

Thanks,
Graham
