And... silly me, I forgot to add that there is no sign of wireless once
I installed on the new partion. Previous Maverick had wireless working
just fine (but it was an lucid to maverick update so perhaps that is the
reason). Boot to the lucid partition & wireless is working from the
out-of-the-box install. Sigh..SOS... but we've now even more Ubuntu One
defaults & that should make things much better, eh?
