the results change quite alot,i tryed the last one a couple of times,and now it says disabled(wlan0)it never said that before,
anyway,how to enable?any idea?
i was getting annoyd and tryed to reinstall vista with my recovery cd,isnt working either,when i start my laptop up,theres still the grub loader trying to start up ubuntu.
i like ubuntu much more,my laptop is much faster.but it looks like if you have a problem,and your not a it geek your fucked...
