Help with wireless & taskbar problem (Ubuntu 10.10 on Acer 4820TG)
Hi guys,
It feels great to be back on ubuntu. Was using kubuntu for 3 years but eventually came back home to gnome
I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop and most of the stuff is working. Now there are 2 things which are not working:
1. Broadcom Wireless
When I was on kubuntu it was working out of the box by using keyboard Fn+F3. Same keys were also used to start bluetooth. Bluetooth is working but wireless is not.
2. I have an external AOC2243FWK display and whenever i connect display since boot time. The taskbar applets get wrong or non orderly positions on the other hand, if I boot without connecting monitor and then when I plug in monitor and configure display settings. Everything on taskbar is fine. Why is this weird behaviour with taskbar???
For the hardware problem, I am posting lspci, iwconfig & lshw for quick look
lspci
