I'm starting to like Unity. So small...so out of the way and so fast.
I'll work on the wifi this weekend. Thanks so far though!

I've gone through several online threads and I'm not getting it. Sorry, I'm not doing well at the self taught Ubuntu kungfu.

Just a good story. I bought this Dell mini 910 for my wife a while back and it came with Ubuntu 8.04 (trashed) and I had a ton of problems with hangs every time it was used. I sent it to Dell and all they did was reinstall the OS(8.04) and returned it, with the same problem! Finally after 6 months, I put Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on it and everything works like a charm. I did have WiFi problem to start with but after installing the proprietary driver for the network card, wireless works perfectly
I was wondering if the newest ver. of Ubuntu would work(11.xx) and what advantages would there be?
If wifi does not work after upgrading the driver then it could be a hardware problem?
Good Luck!

I have a Dell 1011 mini 10 that I just installed remix on. I had the same problem. you will need the broadcom number of your
wireless card. Then go to broadcom.com and you can find the driver you need for ubuntu. Mine works fine.
