So here is the sum of it all. I just installed Ubuntu Heron on My Compaq Presario V6719NR, it is dual booting along with Vista. I am alright with technical things, but i am new to linux. I am having problems with some hardware drivers.
These are the restricted components:
1. Atheros Hardware Access Layer (HAL) /*It is enabled and in use*/
2. Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards /*It is enabled and in use*/
3. nvidia_new /* It is enabled,but, NOT IN USE */
I can access the internet through a lan connection but i cannot access it wirelessly and it will not detect my connection.
also i cannot edit the visual effects from the appearance in system preferences.
can someone give me a step by step guide on how to resolve these problems.
you can add me as a contact on im. my windows live messenger is <snip>.
