Thanks Bryan, I'll do that later (I'm not quite ready to try even a LiveCD on this laptop yet, since I don't want anything to get messed up).
I'm a bit concerned by the problems you are having, since I rely a lot on my fingerprint reader with Windows for security AND convenience, including booting up, logging on and managing sensitive website accounts. If it's going to be as quirky as what is happening to you, then I won't be keeping it for long, and there would be no point in me installing Ubuntu at all on this particular machine.
Intrepid User of Xubuntu & LXDE on:
(1) Dell Latitude, CPi R400GT, PII 400 MHz, 256MB SDRAM, 66MHz.
(2) Toshiba Portégé 3490CT, PIII 700 MHz, 256MB SDRAM, 100MHz.
Both using NETGEAR MA521 Wireless PCMCIA (no issues!).
