Hey, after seeing how promising the new edition of Ubuntu was, I decided to install it along my current OS (Linux Mint 10).
Having installed Ubuntu without any problems I immediately installed both the wireless driver and my video driver in Additional Drivers; they are currently both 'The driver is activated and currently in use'.
Now with Mint, I could connect straight away to wireless but Ubuntu, no.
Having searched, I eventually changed the message under Wireless Networks to 'Device not ready' but after rebooting it's gone back to Wireless is disabled, even though it has been ticked
To get it to actually turn on. I’ve had to us 'sudo ifconfig eth1 up' and it even detects the wireless networks when I use 'sudo iwlist eth1 scan'.
Here are my ifconfig and iwconfig plus my wireless card
:
