It comes with Vista installed and somehow the Windows turns on the WiFi hardware after it is turned on. When I turn the Vista off it now turns the hardware off. Somehow I had the hardware left on because my 8.10 was able to get WiFi. But today I set up Jaunty and it found the WiFi for about 30 minutes and then it quit. I went back to 8.10 and now it can't find WiFi either. There is a button next to the On-Off button that is red it seems when the WiFi hardware is off. It turns green when you have Vista running. But for 6 months or more 8.10 had WiFi with a red light. Any ideas from other Ubuntu users? The things I read are all about WiFi hardware that is not supported. Karl -- Karl F.

It happens to me once in my Vaio, all i did was completely remove network-manager and check if all drivers are in order ( they probably are ), and reinstall network-manager. It worked for me hope it does for you... OH and the red light is a recognicion problem, it doesn't matter at all, my vaio was with the light always off. TtheT
