I'm new to UBUNTU but have been using Mandriva for a couple of months as it was on the cover of a mag.
Any one know anything about the Elonex Webbook. I bought one of these today without the 'orange' contract from Carphone warehouse as the price seemed good for the 'spec' and I've been looking at ultramobiles for a while.
However I can't seem to get the wireless working
The network manager has 'enable wireless' greyed out.
having gone through the 'troubleshooting' steps I have determined that the hardware lists an Intel wireless device there in the machine
Using lscs -C network tells me the lan is there and working but the wireless appears to be disabled with an ominous 'radio=off' and almost every other parameter zeroed.
The man in the shop didn't say anything about wireless being disabled if you didn't sign up with 'orange'.
Can anyone shed any light on the matter.
