Hello, my Compaq Presario V4000 will not connect to the Internet on Ubuntu. I know that it is a firmware problem and not a hardware one, as it works fine on my second, smaller partition of Windows XP. I've looked through a figurative TON of other threads on the issue, and none have fixed my problem.
When I click on the connection icon at the top-right of my interface (I am using Ubuntu 12.04 stock-standard, vanilla Unity), it says that the wireless connection has been disabled via a hardware switch. . .which simply isn't true. I'm positive that this is a driver/firmware issue, I just don't know how to fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Long story short:
Compaq Presario V4000
Ubuntu 12.04, Unity
Bad Wireless Driver
