ubuntu wireless

[Dirk Estievenart]

Hello Asif,

I have an HP 6730b too from my employer. Wireless worked out-of-the-box on
intrepid. It stopped working when I upgraded to jaunty, but worked again
after I reinstalled jaunty.

The touchscreen button works well too.

I'm not a wireless specialist, but maybe we can compare configurations?

Cheers,


Dirk
