    11.04 broke my 10.04 wifi

    I installed 11.04 from disc for a clean install on my dual boot vsta/ubuntu desktop.I was so frustrated that i had no wifi in 11.04 that i got out my 10.04 disk and triple booted that into the mix.Still no wifi (axcept in Vista) however if i unplug my usb wifi device and replug it in while in10.04 i will get the 'connection established' info box yet when i try to open Firefox i get the 'no internet connection or check firewall setting' drop down box.My wifi was working in 10.04 previous to 11.04 install.Note the unplug/replug usb does not work at all in 11.04.Also its strange that my wifi icon in 10.04 went from the bar graph style to the radiating arch style since the reinstall,even though i used the same install disc as pre 11.04

    What driver module are you using?

    i have no idea of which driver is being used on either set up.Just what was in the install disc.Like i tried to point out is that the 10.04 disc originally gave me a useable wifi but now nothing.
