Bring Ubuntu To LIFE!...please

[mischa falkenburg]

Hello All,

Recently I was forced to upgrade to a new motherboard. OK, that came 
with a disk for installing the XP drivers. XP does all that it usually does.

Ubuntu was installed from within Windows, but that disk didn't "do" 
anything for it. It works fine, but it doesn't see the network and can't 
get online. We're running 10.04.4, and if the solution is to use the 
disk for recovery, at what point should the disk engage - when the boot 
choice is made in GRUB?

Thanks-in-advance,
Mischa
