    Jaunty on Macbook - internet connection help?

    I've successfully gotten Mac OS X, Windows XP, and Ubuntu Jaunty triple-booting on my Macbook.

    At this stage I can't figure out how to connect (wirelessly, as I always do from OSX and XP) to the internet from Ubuntu, and I haven't yet been able to find any clear instructions anywhere. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks a lot

    System > Admin menu > Hardware Drivers
    Enable the wifi card driver and restart, if needed.

    Thanks for the help, NoBugs.

    The wireless driver was enabled but it said it wasn't currently in use. This bug is discussed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/343556. I found that disabling the driver, rebooting, enabling the driver, and rebooting again worked for me.
