Before I even let Vista run, I forced it to boot from the Ubuntu 9.04 i386 live CD and it *worked fine, including the wireless*. So I, of course, think I'm home free. I used GParted to repartition the hard drive for Vista, /, swap, /home, and a second NTFS partition for shared files. Next, I let Vista boot, and it didn't seem to be happy with the repartition, but it eventually finished the initialization, and after multiple reboots it seems to *run fine, including the wireless*. Then, I booted from the Ubuntu live CD again and installed Ubuntu. When I finally boot into Ubuntu off the hard drive, *the wireless will not work*. I then boot from the live CD, and *the wireless will not work*. I boot back into Vista and the *wireless works fine*. Multiple iterations, same results. Where do I start? Will 64 bit fix this? How about using the Alternate Install CD? I hope you guys can help. I haven't been able to find anything via Google. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> What chipset is the wireless? lspc will tell you: $ lspci Is it? Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) Have you loaded the wireless drivers? System|Administration|Hardware Drivers (note: you'll need to use a direct connect of course). If the drivers are loaded & activated, then I'll look here: <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=BCM4312+%2BVista&field.actions.search=Search"><https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=BCM4312+%2BVista&field.actions.search=Search></a> Subtitute 'BCM4312' with the proper chipset if BCM4312 is not correct. </pre> </blockquote> The controller is Broadcom BCM5784M rev. 10 But, if it's a driver issue, why would the LiveCD work before Vista was activated? </body> </html>
