newbie: getting wireless going on hardy

[jeffrey.berger at mac.com]

Output from hostname -f is
localhost

In the interim, 106 updates became available. I downloaded (wired) and  
installed them. When I restarted, the Update Manager (if that's the  
name of one of the icons in the right upper panel) announced that a  
driver for the wireless card had become available.

I used Device Manager to install the new driver. This required  
downloading and running an fwcutter. All of this was handled  
automagically.

I just restarted again and (hooray!) the connected light on my  
wireless card is lit for the 1st time running Ubuntu.

And I'm connected!

And no authentication issues either.

Thanks!!!
