So has anything new came about?
:popcorn: I for one am insanely excited to see the driver come out.
Just wanted to inform you guys I just wrote a long email to the Linux team at BC asking for details on the current availability of the Linux drivers, I am growing impatient with this. Next month is a...
I am now using a razer orochi bluetooth mouse and a Asus USB-N10 working flawless. Sweet.
Okay how do you get the trendnet dongle to work? Please help I need wireless.
UPDATE: I have updated to kernel version 2.6.39-rc5 and still no luck for the Trendnet TEW-648UBM
Mainly processor and the wireless chip apparently, I compared a 7,1 to a 8,1 next to each other and noticed a world of difference in speed. Get it if you have a choice.
Depends if you have the money. I am not a fanboy. I recommend using what you feel is right for you, and finding another SSD to expand my space I found it harde finding a replacement. Everything...
I forgot to ask, does bluetooth work ok?
Well my trackpad crapped on me. I had to return it and just went with a 2011 MBP 13", no problems with Natty so far except wireless. But the good news is I am happy with the hardware.
I feel you, just know the BCM4331 has blue tooth built in with it, yet we have no driver, stay vigilant.Sorry to hear about that.
Please, for the love of god, use Natty fresh install, you won't stress after that. Then go get one of these for the meantime:

Yeah I checked those out, then I went to the extent of looking for an alternative older card with the same socket type, well... no it wont happen, the 4331 is one of a kind for all I know.
FDISK
b16@ubi:~$ sudo fdisk -lu /dev/sda

Can you write a small write up for how exactly it is done?
This may seem off topic but, I was wondering if there is a way to get rid of the GRUB loader and have it just boot into ubuntu, I am dual booted with mac osx on a ssd, it kinda kills the fact I have...
I will post an update tomorrow after I get off the phone with them.
Iam tempted to call BC tomorrow and ask on the status of the linux drivers for this chipset.
So any luck on resume from suspend or word on the wireless drivers? This is actually very annoying, because everything works superbly out of the box with a updated natty install.
64 bit?
Ladies and gentlemen, also pleas read this:
I installed Maverick Meerkat first and did a distro upgrade and EVERYTHING except the few Fn keys works. Try that, The natty installer I was having...
Man, That is so unfortunate, I am using the last beta they had, also the thing is, I have tried and tried
sudo update-manager -d
and I get nothing. But as for wireless everything is working....
I was/am Dual Booting, it would not stick, but that was fixed by using Maverick to install then distro upgrade.
Cheers!
That is really strange because I have not seen anyone have issues with wifi :/ if you want to put together a quick and easy tut for it let me know and I will update the op. Thanks!
I added a lot to the installation and compatibility thread. If you need help that is the place to go.
Problem solved, check OP. Enjoy =)
