Suggestions? I'm starting to think installing Lucid was a bad idea.
I'd be tempted to try some other distros and see if they had the same problem. I took that approach with my laptop to find a distro that coped with the wireless network adapter. Ubuntu Lucid works well, but some earlier versions of Ubuntu didn't. I'm assuming you've got any data that needs keeping has been transferred to off-line storage. Installing and testing a distro should only take about an hour at most. If the computer supports boot from a USB device, booting from an external CD drive would allow you to test much more quickly and without having to do an install. Michael
