    I was having trouble reinstalling 9.04, then I realized it was installing it to the SD card, creating 2 versions of Ubuntu on the Starling. Once I pulled the SD out, the install finally worked fine. I finally have wireless networking again.

My wireless has better range than it did with 9.04. I am typing this from my den via the Starling's wireless connection. Something I could not do before the upgrade and the new driver. Many thanks to Tom and his colleagues at System 76!

    Sorry to come so late to the party.

    I had the same thing happen when I tried to upgrade some weeks ago. I waited until I thought all the issues were solved, but my system is apparently hosed and I didn't have time to work on it. I just put my old Mac back in service for this semester and limped along.

    I am getting ready to try what you suggest--reinstall from a thumb drive. Any other details or warnings you can supply? I am not very knowledgeable on Linux issues yet. (But I LOVE my Starling and want it back!!!)

    Thanks!
