Hello all,
I could really use any help you guyz can give me regarding the following problem.
I have recently installed 9.10 un my laptop (dell vostro 1710) and everything worked just fine until an update 3 days ago, when my wireless drivers (detected, installed ok and working) went crazy.
Long story short - no errors, no messages, just that my ubuntu now detect wireless networks in the area totally random. I mean sometimes in doesn't detect any networks, but after a reboot it detects them all right.
I don't know if it's from the update i'm talking about or else. But i haven't change any config files or something...
lshw -C network returns the following:
