701SD wireless

[James Beake]

I've had a similar experience with two netbooks (dell mini 9 and hp 1000).
Honestly I can't say I did anything to fix it but they are both working fine
now. Maybe I managed to get some updates that fixed the problem for my
hardware.

Anyway, I don't have a solution for you but I can offer a tip to hopefully
get you on the path to a solution. Other team members may have more insight
on this and I welcome their input.

1. Run the "dmesg" command, and look for any error messages related to your
wifi card.
2. Cut and paste the text of the error into you favourite search engine
3. Look for Lauchpad bug reports in the search results.
4. Check out any bug reports you find.

You will hopefully find some details on the error and sometimes people post
workarounds. At the very least, you can usually get some info on the current
state of the bug.

Happy hunting.
