Another WIFI Issue Involving WMP54G & /etc/hosts

[Leonard Chatagnier]

My New Gateway GT5656 AMD64 X2, just installed with
Gutsy, without a bobble, has this in /etc/hosts:

lchata at ubuntu64:/etc/apt$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 ubuntu64.gateway.2wire.net ubuntu64

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable
hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
lchata at ubuntu64:/etc/apt$

Well, I don't remember ever seeing the second line
with 127.0.1.1, in any of my original ubuntu machines
on my lan. However, I've modified the hosts file in
them several times to resolve other issues and maybe
just don't remember.
So, is there a way to regenerate the original
/etc/hosts file without a complete reinstall?  Or will
I just have to nano the above info in order to correct
it?
I would really like the resolve this, and other
issues. in my /Etc in order to concentrate on getting
the LinkSys wifi card to work.  All comments,
suggestions, etc. are welcomed. Thanks,
